PURPOSE 

The purpose of this catalog is to provide a general description of Glenville State College 

and its academic programs and support services and to present detailed information 

regarding admission and degree requirements. Inasmuch as the educational process 

necessitates change, the information and educational requirements in this catalog 

represent a flexible program, which may be altered where such alterations are considered 

to be in the mutual interests of the College and its students. 

The provisions of the catalog do not constitute any offer of a contract, which may be 

accepted by students through registration and enrollment in the College. Glenville State 

College reserves the right to change without notice any fee, provision, policy, offering or 

requirement in this catalog and to determine whether a student has satisfactorily met its 

requirements for admission or graduation. 

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY 

The College establishes certain academic requirements that must be met before a degree 

is granted. Faculty advisors and department chairs are available to help the student 

understand and meet those requirements; however, the student is responsible for fulfilling 

them. If, at the end of a student’s course of study, the requirements for graduation have 

not been satisfied, the degree will not be granted. For this reason, it is important for 

students to acquaint themselves with all academic requirements and to be responsible for 

completing all requirements within prescribed deadlines and time limits. 

STATEMENT OF CATALOG POLICY 

Students who enroll at Glenville State College will follow the provisions of the catalog in 

use at the time of their admission. Students beginning school during summer sessions 

will follow the provisions of the coming fall catalog. 

In the case of programmatic changes, students may choose to adopt the current catalog. 

If the student chooses to adopt the current catalog, he/she becomes responsible for all of 

the requirements in that catalog. Transfer students will use the catalog current at the time 

of their admission to Glenville State College. 

Any student who has interrupted his/her schooling at Glenville State College for two 

consecutive semesters (Fall/Spring or Spring/Fall) will become subject to the provisions 

of the current catalog. An exception will be made if the interruption is caused by service 

in the armed forces.

PHILOSOPHY AND CORE VALUES 

Glenville State College was established in 1872 for the purpose of providing quality

every faculty, staff, and administrator personally committed to serving students in 

efficient and responsive ways regardless of whom, when or where. 

Community - We are a community of learners that value our cohesive relationships with 

one another. We seek inclusiveness through listening and collaborative work. We are 

collectively supportive at all times through open communication and working together as 

a team on campus, wherever our work takes us, and in the communities where we live or 

serve. 

Integrity - We are always truthful, ethical and accountable for doing what we say we will 

do. We demonstrate open trust, respect for our diversity and fairness in all we do. We are 

responsive, consistent and committed to continuous improvement in all areas.

2 General Information

communicate and engage our extended family from parents to alumni and other friends of 

our institution. 

HISTORY 

Glenville State College was founded in 1872 to serve the higher education needs of 

Central West Virginia. Glenville State College has gained wide recognition for its 

teaching excellence. 

By 1910, the College enrollment had exceeded the population of Glenville and grew into 

a full four-year College by 1931. Teacher preparation continued to be the central mission 

as over the years, the campus became known as „the Lighthouse on the Hill‟ for both the 

quality of the teaching and the quality of Glenville State graduates. 

Today, Glenville State still maintains a strong focus on teacher preparation, while 

offering additional degree programs in relevant areas that support the needs of the 

workplace in the 21 st Century. 

Throughout its history, Glenville State has maintained a long tradition of teaching 

excellence by professors who care about each student as an individual, who take the time 

to get to know each student‟s goals and who are committed to helping students get an 

education that will prepare them for a successful career. 

The recognized strengths, from a caring friendly campus to the affordability for a quality 

education, have been an integral part of its history. Glenville State‟s continued 

commitment to its community roots and its desire to be a valued source of educational 

excellence in the future bodes well for Glenville State‟s yet-to-be-written history.

1995). must have: 

1. Graduated from an accredited high school with at least a 2.0 average and an ACT 

composite score of at least 18 or an SAT I score of 870. A student who graduates 

with at least a 3.0 high school GPA, regardless of the ACT or SAT I score, will be 

eligible for regular admission to a bachelor degree program. 

2. Completion of the following course requirements: 

a. four units of English (including courses in grammar, composition, and literature) 

b. three units of social studies (including U.S. history)

Conditionally-admitted students must achieve a minimum of a 2.0 GPA in at least 12 

graded hours.

any high school or hold a GED. 

ALL CANDIDATES FOR BACHELOR AND ASSOCIATE DEGREE

2. high school transcript or GED certificate 

3. ACT or SAT I scores*

not enroll in a state-supported institution of postsecondary education unless he is in 

compliance with the Military Selective Service Act (50 U.S. Code, Appendix §451, et seq. 

and the amendments thereto). Also, a male person may not receive a loan, grant, scholarship 

or other financial assistance for postsecondary higher education funded by state revenue, 

including federal funds or gifts and grants accepted by this State, or receive a student loan 

guaranteed by the State unless he is in compliance with the Military Selective Service Act. 

Selective Service Act registration information should be available at all U.S. Postal Service 

facilities and may be available at some high schools. The Selective Service System also 

provides information through a web site at http://www.sss.gov. 

GENERAL EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT (GED)/ 

HOME-SCHOOLED APPLICANTS 

West Virginia Higher Education Policy, Series 23, requires that students admitted to West 

Virginia colleges and universities either be graduates of accredited high schools or high 

schools approved by the State Board of Education in the state where located or they must 

have earned a GED certificate. Applicants for admission to Glenville State College who are 

home-schooled must submit scores for the General Educational Development (GED) test in 

order to be considered for admission. 

Students applying for admission who have not graduated from a North Central (or its 

equivalent) accredited high school and home-schooled students are required to submit 

documentation of having earned a score of 410 or higher on each area of the General 

Education Development test and a 2250 total standard score, thus qualifying for the State of 

West Virginia’s high school equivalency certificate or diploma.


Applicants will be considered for admission to Glenville State College’s bachelor degree 

program if they attain a standard score of 500 on three of the five parts of the GED test. If a 

standard score of 500 is not achieved on three of the five parts of the GED test, students will 

be placed in a 2-year degree program. Once the student has successfully remediated any 

academic deficiency, or completed a 2-year degree program, the student may then transfer 

into a 4-year baccalaureate degree program. 

Copies of the applicant’s home school transcript, ACT or SAT I scores and GED test scores 

must be sent directly to the Office of Admissions. These applicants will be reviewed on a 

case-by-case basis. 

EARLY ENTRANCE ADMISSION 

Outstanding high school juniors and seniors may be admitted as “high school early 

admissions students” either for the regular academic year or summer session. Students may 

qualify on the basis of the following criteria: 

1. Must meet all of the Higher Education Policy Commission’s Freshman Assessment and 

Placement Standards for an incoming freshman. 

2. Must have a high school grade point average of 3.0 or better, as certified by the 

designated high school official. 

3. Must be recommended by the high school principal. 

4. Must submit an application for admission and current high school transcript. 

Official college credit will be given after the Registrar’s Office has been officially notified 

that the student has graduated from high school. The college must be supplied with a final 

high school transcript. 

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS 

Glenville State College is committed to promoting international understanding and respect 

for cultural diversity and, toward that end, particularly welcomes qualified international 

students. 

All international applicants must take the international, standardized version of the test of 

English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Exceptions for English-speaking students will be 

made on a case-by-case basis. Applicants must submit official TOEFL test scores of 550 or 

higher to be eligible for full admission to Glenville State College. With a score of 550 or 

above, no additional language training is required for unconditional admission. 

International students who submit official TOEFL scores of 500–549 are also eligible for 

admission to Glenville State College once they have completed a summer intensive English 

program.


Applicants who submit official TOEFL scores of 499 and below are eligible for conditional 

acceptance to Glenville State College. These students are required to complete a summer 

Intensive English program prior to entering GSC. These conditionally admitted students are 

required to attain a minimum of 500 on the TOEFL exam or achieved a grade of “C” or better 

in English 101 - Critical Reading and Writing I. Once a score of 500 is attained on the 

TOEFL exam or a “C” is attained in ENGL 101, the student is unconditionally admitted to 

the College. 

Conditional admission as an international student may not be extended beyond four 

semesters, excluding summer sessions. If after three semesters of full-time study, an 

international student has not achieved a score of 500 or higher on the TOEFL or passed 

ENGL 101 - Critical Reading and Writing I with a grade of “C” or higher, that student will 

be placed on probation for the fourth semester. Barring exceptional circumstances, any 

international student who does not achieve a TOEFL score of 500 or grade of “C” or higher 

in ENGL 101 - Critical Reading and Writing within four semesters will not be allowed to 

continue at Glenville State College. 

ADMISSION OF NON-DEGREE SEEKING STUDENT 

Glenville State may admit individuals as non-degree seeking students upon completion of a 

GSC admission application. Non-degree seeking students may enroll in those courses for 

which they are qualified. If a non-degree seeking student would later choose to pursue a 

degree program, that student must submit all required documents (test scores, transcripts, 

etc.) to be admitted as a degree candidate. 

The non-degree seeking student shall be allowed to enroll in no more than seven (7) hours 

per semester except by special permission of the Provost and Senior Vice President. The 

student will be responsible for paying the tuition and fees and is not eligible for federal 

financial aid. 

Transcripts are not necessary for non-degree seeking students. Nor are they part of the 

student’s academic transcript. However, if the transcripts are submitted, the transcripts will 

be filed until such time as the student becomes a degree-seeking student at Glenville State 

College. 

If a non-degree seeking student wishes to change his/her enrollment status, that individual 

must complete an admission application (available at www.glenville.edu) and submit it to the 

Office of Admissions along with all required documentation. Students changing degree 

status must meet all current admission requirements in effect at the time that the change of 

degree status is initiated.


CORE COURSEWORK TRANSFER & TRANSFERABILITY OF CREDITS 

The Higher Education Policy Commission of West Virginia has adopted a core coursework 

agreement to assure that students who transfer from one state college or university to another 

will receive credit for specified general studies courses at the receiving institutions. Under the 

terms of the agreement, a student may transfer up to 32 credits of undergraduate coursework 

in the areas of English composition, communications and literature, mathematics, natural 

science, and social science as general studies credits. A list of courses contained in this 

agreement may be obtained from the Registrar’s Office. 

At least 64 and no more than 72 hours of credit completed at West Virginia community and 

technical colleges or regional campuses are transferable to Glenville State College. 

Exceptions to the 72 hour rule may only be made by the Provost and Senior Vice President. 

TRANSFER STUDENTS 

1. Applicants seeking admission to Glenville State College as transfer students with 

27 or more earned credits must be eligible to return to the institution from which 

they intend to transfer. Students who meet this requirement may be admitted, 

without conditions, upon the submission of an application for admission and an 

official transcript from ALL previous colleges attended. 

2. Students seeking admission as transfer students who have earned fewer than 27 

hours of college work must also submit a high school transcript and ACT/SAT I 

scores, as well as an official transcript from ALL previous colleges attended. If 

the student does not have the following criteria: (1) 2.0 average on their high 

school work, (2) ACT composite of 18 or above, (3) a combined verbal/math SAT 

I score of at least 870 AND if they have not completed the required high school 

courses listed above, they may be admitted to an associate degree program. The 

student then must remediate all deficiencies before transferring into a Bachelor’s 

degree program. 

3. Students who do not meet the previous two conditions may be admitted to 

Glenville State College upon the recommendation of the Academic Appeals 

Committee. If, in the opinion of the Committee, such applicants can successfully 

complete an academic program, the Academic Appeals Committee may forward a 

recommendation to the Provost and Senior Vice President that the student be 

admitted on probation for one semester at Glenville State College. 

4. Any individual who has at least one year of military service, regardless of 

academic standing when last registered in college, may be readmitted either in 

good standing or on academic probation, whichever was the standing status when 

last registered in college.


5. All previously completed college work listed on the student’s transcript will be 

recorded on the student’s record at Glenville State College. 

6. Students who transfer to Glenville State College from another college must have 

an overall GPA of at least 2.0 on all course work completed at Glenville State 

College as one of the criteria for graduation. 

CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS AS RESIDENTS AND NON-RESIDENTS 

FOR ADMISSION AND FEE PURPOSES 

Students enrolling in Glenville State College shall be assigned a residency status for 

admission, tuition and fee purposes by the Registrar. In determining residency 

classification, the issue is essentially one of domicile. In general, the domicile of a person 

is that person’s true, fixed, permanent home and place of habitation. The decision shall be 

based upon information furnished by the student and all other relevant information. The 

Registrar is authorized to require such written documents, affidavits, verifications, or 

other evidence as is deemed necessary to establish the domicile of a student. The burden 

of establishing domicile for admission, tuition and fee purposes is upon the student. 

If there is a question as to domicile, the matter must be brought to the attention of the 

Registrar at least two weeks prior to the deadline for payment of tuition and fees. Any 

student found to have made a false or misleading statement concerning domicile shall be 

subject to institutional disciplinary action and will be charged the nonresident fees for 

each academic term previously attended. 

The previous determination of a student’s domiciliary status by one institution is not 

conclusive or binding when subsequently considered by another institution; however, 

assuming no change of facts, the prior judgment should be given strong consideration in 

the interest of consistency. Out-of-state students being assessed resident tuition and fees 

as a result of a reciprocity agreement may not transfer said reciprocity status to another 

public institution in West Virginia. 

Residence Determined by Domicile 

Domicile within the State means adoption of the State as the fixed permanent home and 

involves personal presence within the State with no intent on the part of the applicant or, 

in the case of a dependent student, the applicant’s parent(s) to return to another state or 

country. Residing with relatives (other than parent(s)/legal guardian) does not, in and of 

itself, cause the student to attain domicile in this State for admission or fee payment 

purposes. West Virginia domicile may be established upon the completion of at least 

twelve months of continued presence within the State prior to the date of registration, 

provided that such twelve months’ presence is not primarily for the purpose of attendance 

at any institution of higher education in West Virginia. Establishment of West Virginia


domicile with less than a twelve month presence prior to the date of registration must be 

supported by evidence of positive and unequivocal action. 

In determining domicile, the Registrar will give consideration to such factors as the 

ownership or lease of a permanently occupied home in West Virginia, full-time 

employment within the State, paying West Virginia property tax, filing West Virginia 

income tax returns, registering of motor vehicles in West Virginia, possessing a valid 

West Virginia driver’s license, and marriage to a person already domiciled in West 

Virginia. Proof of a number of these actions should be considered only as evidence that 

may be used in determining whether or not a domicile has been established. Factors 

mitigating against the establishment of West Virginia domicile might include such 

considerations as students not being self-supporting, being claimed as dependent on 

federal or state income tax returns or on the parents’ health insurance policy if the parents 

reside out of state, receiving financial assistance from state student aid programs in other 

states and leaving the State when school is not in session. 

Dependency Status 

A dependent student is one who is listed as a dependent on the federal or state income tax 

return of his/her parent(s) or legal guardian or who receives major financial support from 

that person. Such a student maintains the same domicile as that of the parent(s) or legal 

guardian. In the event the parents are divorced or legally separated, the dependent student 

takes the domicile of the parent with whom he/she lives or to whom he/she has been 

assigned by court order. However, a dependent student who enrolls and is properly 

classified as an in-state student maintains that classification as long as the enrollment is 

continuous and that student does not attain independence and establish domicile in 

another state. 

A nonresident student who becomes independent while a student at an institution of 

higher education in West Virginia does not, by reason of such independence alone, attain 

domicile in this State for admission. 

Change of Residence 

A person who has been classified as an out-of-state student and who seeks resident status 

in West Virginia must assume the burden of providing conclusive evidence that he/she 

has established domicile in West Virginia with the intention of making a permanent home 

in this State. The intent to remain indefinitely in West Virginia is evidenced not only by a 

person’s statements, but also by that person’s actions. In making a determination 

regarding a request for change in residency status, the Registrar will consider those 

actions referenced under “Residence Determined by Domicile” above. The change in 

classification, if deemed to be warranted, shall be effective for the academic term or 

semester next following the date of the application for reclassification.


Military 

An individual who is on full-time active military service in another state or a foreign country 

or an employee of the federal government will be classified as an in-state student for the 

purpose of payment of tuition and fees, provided that the person established a domicile in 

West Virginia prior to entrance into federal service, entered the federal service from West 

Virginia, and has at no time while in federal service claimed or established a domicile in 

another state. Sworn statements attesting to these conditions may be required. The spouse and 

dependent children of such individual shall also be classified as in-state students for tuition 

and fee purposes. 

Persons assigned to full-time active military service in West Virginia and residing in the State 

shall be classified as in-state students for tuition and fee purposes. The spouse and dependent 

children of such individuals shall also be classified as in-state students for tuition and fee 

purposes. 

Citizens of Other Countries 

An alien who is in the United States on a resident visa or who has filed a petition for 

naturalization in the naturalization court, and who has established a bona fide domicile in 

West Virginia as defined under “Residence Determined by Domicile” above may be eligible 

for in-state residency classification, provided that person is in the State for purposes other 

than to attempt to qualify for residency status as a student. Political refugees admitted into the 

United States for an indefinite period of time and without restriction on the maintenance of a 

foreign domicile may be eligible for an in-state classification as defined under “Residence 

Determined by Domicile.” Any person holding a student or other temporary visa cannot be 

classified as an in-state student. 

Former Domicile 

A person who was formerly domiciled in the State of West Virginia and who would have 

been eligible for an in-state residency classification at the time of his/her departure from the 

state may be immediately eligible for classification as a West Virginia resident provided such 

person returns to West Virginia within a one-year period of time and satisfies the conditions 

under “Residence Determined by Domicile” regarding proof of domicile and intent to remain 

permanently in West Virginia. 

Appeal Process 

The decision of the Registrar with the determination of residency classification may be 

appealed in accordance with appropriate procedures established by the President. At a 

minimum, an institutional committee on residency appeals appointed by the Provost will be 

established to receive and recommend on appeals of initial residency decisions made by the 

Registrar. The residency appeal procedures will also include provisions for appeal of the 

decision of the College committee on residency appeals to the President. The President’s 

decision on residency is final and not subject to appeal.

Refund Schedule for Tuition and Fees 

Students who are enrolled at Glenville State College but officially withdraw before or 

during the semester will be refunded tuition, fees, room and board according to the 

following schedule: 

1. ACADEMIC YEAR (Semester) 

During the first and second weeks ............................................................... 90% 

During the third and fourth weeks ............................................................... 70% 

During the fifth and sixth weeks .................................................................. 50% 

Beginning of the seventh week .......................................................... No Refund 

2. SUMMER TERM

From 26% to 38% of the term...................................................................... 50% 

After 38% of term is completed ......................................................... No Refund 

All refunds for tuition and fees are calculated from the day of the regular scheduled 

registration date. If a refund is due because of a withdrawal, then federal financial aid 

programs will be reimbursed first in the following order: Federal Direct Loans, Pell 

Grant, SEOG or other aid. Depending on the withdrawal date and financial aid received, 

a repayment from the student could be due a federal program (refer to Return of Title IV 

Funds in the Financial Aid Section). Any refund due to the student will be mailed to the 

student’s home address approximately four weeks after regular withdrawal. It is 

understood; however, that to receive a refund, a student must notify both the Registrar’s 

Office and the Cashier’s Office of the College at the time of withdrawal. 

A STUDENT MUST WITHDRAW FROM ALL CLASSES TO BE ELIGIBLE 

FOR A REFUND OF TUITION AND FEES. NO REFUND WILL BE GIVEN FOR 

DROPPING OF CREDIT HOURS. 

ROOM REFUNDS 

Room refunds may be made only during the first two weeks of each semester. Room 

refunds for the first ten instructional days will be made on a weekly basis. No refunds 

will be made after the second week of the semester. Refunds may be granted for reasons 

of regular withdrawal and/or suspension. Room refunds may not be made for irregular 

withdrawals from the College and/or the residence hall.


BOARD REFUND POLICY 

Any time a student withdraws from the College, board fees will be refunded on a prorated 

basis of the unused weeks. Any portion of a week constitutes a full week of use for 

refund calculations. 

PAYMENT POLICIES 

1. The cashier accepts cash, Discover, Master Card, Visa, postal money orders, or 

personal checks written for the exact amount of the obligations. All checks must 

be payable to GLENVILLE STATE COLLEGE. Checks will not be accepted in 

excess of amounts owed to the College. 

2. If a check for payment of tuition and fees is dishonored and returned by the bank, 

the Business Office will declare the fees unpaid and registration canceled. In such 

case, the student may be reinstated upon redemption of the unpaid check and 

payment of a $25.00 Bad Check Fee. The receipt of two dishonored checks in any 

academic year will result in the loss of the student’s check writing privileges for 

that academic year. 

3. Other checks dishonored by the bank will result in exclusion from classes until 

payment is made, including a $25.00 Bad Check Fee. 

4. A student in debt to the College for a previous semester or term will not be 

permitted to enroll until all obligations are paid. 

5. A student who is suspended from the College for disciplinary reasons may not 

receive refunds of tuition, fees, room and/or board. 

6. A residence hall withdrawal fee will be assessed to students withdrawing 

improperly from the residence hall. 

7. Failure to pay all accounts due the College will result in a “HOLD” being placed 

on the student’s records, prohibiting the student from registering for a subsequent 

semester or obtaining a transcript. Dishonored checks not redeemed within ten 

(10) days from date of notification will be referred to the local magistrate for 

collection.


GLENVILLE STATE COLLEGE POLICY ON TUITION AND FEE WAIVERS 

FOR RESIDENTS AT LEAST 65 YEARS OF AGE 

The reduced tuition and fee program at Glenville State College is designed for residents 

of West Virginia who are at least sixty-five years of age. Prospective participants in the 

reduced tuition and fee program will be permitted to enroll in courses at Glenville State 

College under the following conditions: 

Participants will register for courses in the Registrar’s Office and must identify 

themselves as a participant of the program prior to registering. 

Classroom space must be available. If space is limited, a prioritized waiting list will 

be developed identifying date and time of attempted enrollment. If and when space 

becomes available, participant(s) will be notified of available space by the Registrar’s 

Office. 

Participant(s) will be subject to Glenville State College programmatic and financial 

guidelines for enrollees and to the rules, regulations, procedures and requirements, 

including course prerequisites, of Glenville State College and the Higher Education 

Policy Commission. 

Special fees required of other students in a given course will be required of 

participants in the reduced tuition and fee program. 

Participants in the reduced tuition and fee program will be issued a free parking 

permit. 

The tuition and fees charged to residents at least 65 years of age under for credit option 

shall not exceed fifty percent of the normal rates charged to state residents by the 

institution. This tuition and fee adjustment applies to classroom-based courses, electronic 

and internet-based courses, and all other distance education delivery. Participants in this 

category will be responsible for any laboratory fees which may be part of the course 

requirements. 

If a participant chooses to enroll in a class for no credit, the cost will be $10.00 per credit 

hour, not to exceed $50.00 per course. In addition, participants in this category will be 

responsible for any laboratory fees which may be part of the course requirements.


FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE 

A need analysis form - Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) - approved by 

the Department of Education is used to determine student eligibility for federal financial 

aid. Glenville State College’s Department of Education CODE NUMBER is 003813. 

Students are encouraged to apply online at FAFSA.ED.GOV. Soon after filing the 

FAFSA, the student will receive a Student Aid Report and the school will receive the 

information electronically if listed on the FAFSA. All students are encouraged to 

APPLY BY MARCH 1 at www.fafsa.gov for priority processing. There is no separate 

institutional application. 

The Department of Education believes that the financing of a college education is 

primarily the responsibility of the student and family. However, financial assistance in 

the form of grants, loans, and work opportunities is available when resources from the 

family are not adequate to cover the cost of education. The amount the family is expected 

to contribute is related to the family’s financial strength. Factors involved in determining 

eligibility include income, size of family, number of family members in college, assets 

and other allowable expenses and indebtedness. 

Students with special circumstances should contact the Financial Aid Office (304-462- 

4103) for assistance. 

Glenville State College follows the dependency status definition of a student as set forth 

by the US Department of Education. However, if there are very unusual circumstances, 

exceptions may be made. 

Outside scholarships and resources can affect the student’s financial aid eligibility. 

Some students completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid must have all 

information verified and will be required to submit income documentation. All students 

must be fully admitted to Glenville State College before any aid can be disbursed. 

Summer school financial aid is treated as a part of the immediately preceding academic 

year. There are limited funds available for summer school. Students must have a 

completed FAFSA for the previous school year and also submit an institutional summer 

school financial aid application (available on the website www.glenville.edu) to be 

considered for summer aid.


Award letters are sent to financial aid applicants who have completed a Free Application for 

Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.gov and who has also submitted all requested 

documents to the Financial Aid Office. The student is offered federal aid based on residency, 

expected family contribution as reported on the FAFSA, date application was received at the 

processing center, the student’s desire for work and/or loans as marked on the FAFSA and 

availability of funds. Awards are made assuming full-time enrollment. First time financial aid 

applicants will have award letters mailed to their permanent address and an e-mail notice 

sent. Upperclassmen will only have an e-mail notice sent when their awards are ready to 

review. Students who enroll at less than full-time level may have their awards pro-rated upon 

request. Students may be considered for aid for study abroad programs. The financial aid 

budget may be increased for documented child care expenses. 

The Financial Aid Office reserves the right to review, adjust or cancel an award at any time 

due to changes in the recipient’s financial, academic or residency status. Awards could also 

be changed based on the availability of funds and/or changes in regulations and/or procedures 

mandated by College, state or federal authorities or computer error. 

Funds will be disbursed to a student’s account on or after the first day of classes of a term 

provided all eligibility requirements are met. Generally those requirements are a processed 

award letter and any necessary promissory notes, entrance counseling for Direct Loans 

(www.studentloans.gov), enrollment in classes, full admission in a degree-seeking program 

and evidence of satisfactory academic progress. If there is a credit balance after funds have 

been paid to the student’s account, then the credit check will be available within 10 working 

days at the cashier’s office with proper identification. If checks are not picked up, then 

checks will be mailed to the student’s permanent address as listed in the school’s computer 

system. 

Students who receive financial aid and find it necessary to withdraw from all classes must 

notify the Financial Aid Office as part of the withdrawal process. Any refund due as a result 

of this action will first be used to repay any financial aid funds the student used while 

enrolled. Students may be required to reimburse a percentage of funds received through 

federal funding and the West Virginia Grant. 

All recipients of federally guaranteed loans (Federal Direct, PLUS) are required to have exit 

counseling (in person, by mail or at www.dlssonline.com) upon leaving Glenville State 

College due to graduation or termination of enrollment. 

Return of Title IV Funds for Withdrawal 

Students who receive financial aid while attending Glenville State College will not receive 

any cash refunds upon withdrawal from school until after all financial aid amounts which 

were disbursed for that enrollment period are repaid. Title IV funds recipients are subject to 

the “Return of Title IV Funds” policy which is based on the percentage of the enrollment 

period completed and the amount of Title IV aid disbursed. This is a separate calculation 

from the institution’s tuition and fees refund policy.


The percentage of time completed in the enrollment period is calculated by dividing the 

number of days completed by the total number of days in the enrollment period. After 60 

percent of the semester is completed, there is no return of Title IV funds. The withdrawal 

date is determined by the Registrar’s Office based on last date of attendance. The amount 

of earned aid is calculated by multiplying the amount of disbursed Title IV funds by the 

percentage of time completed. The amount to be returned to the Department of Education 

is determined by taking the total amount of disbursed aid and subtracting from it the 

amount of earned aid. The institution’s share of the amount to be returned is calculated by 

multiplying institutional charges by the percentage of time not enrolled. The student’s 

share is calculated by subtracting the amount the school must return from the total 

amount to be returned. Remaining loan balances are repaid by the student according to 

the terms and conditions of the promissory note. Any grant amount owed by the student 

is divided in half and must be repaid to the school within 45 days of notification of the 

repayment or will be turned over to the Department of Education for collection at which 

time the student becomes ineligible for further federal financial aid at any institution. The 

student will be billed for any amount the school must return due to the student’s 

withdrawal that is not covered by the institutional refund policy. 

FINANCIAL AID SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS 

POLICY SUMMARY 

All students, whether in bachelor or associate degree programs, who wish to receive 

Federal Financial Aid while attending Glenville State College must meet all of the 

requirements of this policy. Compliance with these standards will be measured each 

semester on all enrolled students. Students will be notified and permitted one semester of 

financial aid probation. If the student is not meeting the requirements of this policy at the 

end of the probation semester, then he/she will be placed on financial aid suspension. 

This policy is separate and distinct from the Academic Probation and Suspension Policy. 

The funds affected by the policy are Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Education 

Opportunity Grant, Federal College Work Study, Federal Direct Loan, West Virginia 

Higher Education Grant, and Higher Education Adult Part-Time Student Grant. Some 

outside agencies also award monies under these guidelines. 

I. Qualitative Standards 

All students must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average. This is based 

upon the number of cumulative attempted hours as recorded in the Registrar’s Office. 

Hours Attempted 

Overall Grade 

Point Average 

00-42 hours ...........................................................................................1.50 GPA 

43-60 hours ...........................................................................................1.80 GPA 

61 hours and above................................................................................2.00 GPA


II. 

Quantitative Standards 

a. The ratio of total hours passed to total hours enrolled must be 2/3 or more. 

Total credits passed will include courses for which a student received a grade of “A,” 

“B,” “C,” “D,” or “CR”. The total credits enrolled will include all courses in which a 

student began enrollment. These will include all courses in which a student passed, failed, 

received an incomplete grade, withdrew, audited, repeated and non-credit remedial hours. 

This total may differ from the number of hours attempted as recorded by the Registrar’s 

Office and will be calculated from the student’s billing hours. 

b. Maximum hours 

The total credits attempted for a student pursuing a bachelor degree shall not exceed 192 

hours. 

The total credits attempted for a student pursuing an associate degree shall not exceed 

102 hours. However, a student may complete an associate degree program and then enroll 

in a bachelor degree program, and total hours enrolled will include all hours from the 

associate degree program. 

III. Compliance and Appeals 

The Financial Aid Administrator shall notify a student who is found to be in noncompliance 

with these standards, that he or she is on financial aid suspension and is no 

longer eligible for federal financial aid, including loans. To be removed from financial 

aid suspension, a student may attend GSC at his own expense, provided he or she is 

eligible academically, until the minimum grade point average or ratio of hours passed is 

reached. Simply paying for one’s classes or not attending college will not affect a 

student’s financial aid satisfactory academic progress standing but may be considered

once that student has registered for classes. Information about these accounts is attainable 

through the Office of Technology located on the second floor of the Louis Bennett Hall 

College Use of E-mail 

As an official method of communication, the College may send communications to 

students via e-mail. Students are responsible for the consequences of not reading, in a 

timely fashion, College-related communication sent to their official Glenville State 

College e-mail account. Students are not permitted to bulk mail or spam students, faculty, 

staff or administration address lists.


Student E-mail Account 

All students are issued an official Glenville State College e-mail account when they 

enroll. The e-mail account that is created by the College is the official e-mail address to 

which the College will send electronic communication. This official address will be 

recorded in the College’s electronic directories and records for that student. 

Expectation Regarding Student Use of E-mail 

Students are expected to check their Glenville State College e-mail on a frequent and 

consistent basis in order to remain informed of College-related communications. 

Accounts should be checked daily. 

Appropriate Use 

All use of e-mail will be consistent with the Student Conduct Code and other College 

policies, including the Glenville State College Electronic Mail Policy, and local, state 

and federal law. Communications sent to a student’s official Glenville State College e- 

mail address may include notification of College related actions. E-mail is not 

appropriate for transmitting sensitive or confidential information. 

Glenville State College reserves the right, consistent with this policy and applicable law, 

to access, review, and release all electronic information that is transmitted over, or stored 

in, College equipment, systems or facilities, whether or not such information is private in 

nature, and therefore, confidentiality or privacy of electronic mail cannot be guaranteed. 

Email Violations 

In general, policies and restrictions outlined in state (Electronic Mail Protection Act, 

West Virginia Statute, House Bill 2627) and federal laws and the Faculty, Classified Staff 

or Student Handbooks are applicable when using electronic mail. Specific examples 

include, but are not limited to the following: 

• Forged Mail- It is a violation of this policy to forge an electronic mail signature or to 

make it appear as though it originated from a different person. 

• Intimidation- It is a violation of this policy to send electronic mail that is abusive or 

threatens an individual's safety. The use of electronic mail for sexual, ethnic, religious, or 

other minority harassment is also prohibited. Known threats to personal safety will be 

reported to Public Safety. 

• Harassment- It is a violation of this policy to use electronic mail to harass an individual. 

This includes sending or forwarding chain letters, deliberately flooding a user's mailbox 

with automatically generated mail, inappropriate e-mail messages, and sending mail that 

is deliberately designed to interfere with proper mail delivery or access.


• Unauthorized Access- It is a violation of this policy to attempt to gain access to another 

person's mail files regardless of whether the access was successful or whether or not the 

messages accessed involved personal information. 

• Illegal Use of Mail Services- It is not only a violation of this policy to send copyrighted 

materials electronically - it is a federal offense. All violations will be dealt with severely. 

Any other illegal use of electronic mail will also be dealt with severely and/or reported to 

the proper authorities. 

• Chain Letters/Junk Email – It is a violation of College policy to send chain letters and 

junk email. Chain letters fill the net and the mail servers with useless junk at the expense 

of the subscribers that use the Internet mail legitimately. 

• Spam– It is a violation of College policy for anyone to “Spam” from University mail 

servers. Spam is exploiting servers or similar broadcast systems for purposes beyond 

their intended scope. 

• Hoaxes– It is a violation of College policy to distribute an email hoax with the intention 

to mislead or trick other into believing or accepting or doing something, so as to bring 

about the belief in or acceptance of what is actually false. 

• Attachments – Attachments are any items added in addition to the original email being 

created. Attachments must adhere to the section on illegal use of the mail services above. 

Attachments have a direct affect on all mail servers and recipients, so an attachment 

should not exceed 10 MB. Large attachments should never be sent in mass mailing. 

Redirecting E-mail 

Students may elect to direct (auto-forward) messages sent to their Glenville State College 

e-mail address. Students who redirect e-mail from their official address to another 

address (such as AOL, Yahoo, Hotmail, or any e-mail server other than the official 

College servers) do so at their own risk. Having e-mail lost as a result of redirection does 

not absolve students from responsibilities associated with communication sent to their 

official e-mail address. The College is not responsible for the handling of e-mail by 

outside vendors or unofficial servers. 

FITNESS CENTER

RESIDENTIAL LIFE AND HOUSING 

Residence Halls are places where students live together and form communities. As a 

resident, you will encounter a variety of people and lifestyles. Your experience will 

broaden your perspective and help you learn more about yourself and others.


All unmarried students who have earned less than 58 credit hours are required to reside 

on campus in one of the College’s residential living facilities as long as space is 

available. All residents in college housing must also purchase a meal plan from Glenville 

State College Dining Services. Any exception to this rule can be made only with the 

approval of the Dean of Student Affairs and the Provost. 

Pioneer Village is located on Mineral Road across from Eberle Hall and is a 

predominately upperclassmen facility. Freshmen may reside at Pioneer Village but must 

meet the following criteria: They must possess a 2.5 GPA or higher on their final high 

school transcript and score a 19 or higher on their ACT. Nine buildings house sixteen 

students each and one building houses eight students, the Resident Director, the main

newest facility on campus. It has 482 single and double rooms (9’6” x 16’3”). It has 

separate restrooms, electronic deadbolt locks operated with student ID’s, satellite 

television, high-speed wired and wireless internet access, telephone access, desk and

sprinkler system throughout, and energy efficient lighting. 

Each residence hall has live-in staff who are dedicated to making the residential life 

experience a rewarding one. The Resident Director oversees the operation of the 

residence hall and supervises a staff of Resident Assistants. The Resident Assistants 

coordinate activities and programs in the residence halls, serve as resource people, 

counselors, and friends, and, when necessary, act as disciplinary agents for the College.

the only material that can be used for hanging items in your room (however, please 

understand that you are responsible for your room and any marks that may be left behind 

by such items). Fish tanks are permitted in rooms, but dogs, cats, birds, and other animals 

are not. Heat generating items, such as irons, and cooking appliances, must be used only 

in the laundry rooms and kitchen. Hair appliances, such as hair dryers and curling irons,

through participation in campus activities and organizations. Co-curricular involvement 

contributes to a student’s overall development and complements his/her educational

academic year. The entertainment includes comedians, musicians, hypnotists, magicians, 

karaoke and interactive games. Special activities are scheduled during Homecoming

Student Government Association is an elected body of students serving as a medium for 

campus student opinion. In weekly informal meetings open to any member of the campus 

community, various facets of the College social and academic life are discussed. Because 

the Student Government Association is elected by the students, it is maintained as a 

flexible organization open to the opinions, desires, and suggestions of a concerned 

campus. The Constitution of the GSC Student Government Association may be found in 

the Student Handbook and on the GSC website. 

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS 

Being a member of a student organization or committee enriches your time spent at 

Glenville State College in many ways. Student organizations and committees also give

auditory), vision, speech, psychological, and other disabilities not listed above. The 

Academic Support Center, is located in Louis Bennett Hall.


Policy and Procedures for Providing Services to Students with Disabilities 

In accordance with provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Glenville 

State College: 

does not deny any qualified person admission or the opportunity to participate in the 

College’s programs or activities based solely on the fact that the person has a 

disability; 

provides programs and services in an integrated setting, unless separate or different 

measures are necessary to ensure equal opportunity; 

eliminates eligibility standards or rules that deny individuals with disabilities an equal 

opportunity to participate in the services, programs, or activities unless “necessary” 

for the provision of the service, program, or activity; 

ensures that any “necessary” eligibility standards or rules are not based on 

speculation, stereotypes or generalizations about individuals with disabilities; 

makes reasonable accommodations in policies, practices, or procedures to provide 

equal access to persons with disabilities; 

does not place special charges on students with disabilities to cover the costs of 

reasonable accommodations necessary to ensure nondiscriminatory treatment; 

explains in the College Catalog and Student Handbook the specific procedures 

students with disabilities should use to identify themselves and request 

accommodations; 

operates all programs so that, when viewed in their entirety, they are readily 

accessible to persons with disabilities. 

Definitions 

Under the ADA, an individual with a disability is a person who has: 

a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life 

activities; 

a record of such an impairment; or 

is regarded as having such an impairment. 

A qualified student with a disability is an individual who, with or without 

accommodations, meets the academic standards requisite to admission or participation in 

the College’s programs and activities. 

Reasonable Accommodation. A modification or adjustment that enables a qualified 

individual with a disability to participate in the College’s programs and activities without 

creating undue hardships for the College. Such accommodations generally fall into one of 

two categories:


physical modifications, which entail removal of physical and architectural barriers 

from existing and planned facilities to make them accessible to and usable by persons 

with disabilities; 

programmatic modifications, which are alterations provided to enable such 

individuals to access programs, services or activities that would otherwise not be 

available to persons with disabilities. Examples that might apply to academic 

programs are note takers, written materials, assistive listening devices, 

telecommunication devices, qualified readers, taped texts, audio recordings of 

classroom instruction and large print materials. 

Accommodations that cause undue hardship are those that are excessively costly, 

extensive, substantial, disruptive or that would fundamentally alter the nature or 

operation of the College or its programs. 

Identifying Essential Functions 

The College informs students in advance of the standards they must meet and the 

functions they must be able to perform, with or without accommodations, to complete its 

programs of instruction. 

Identifying Students with Disabilities 

The College is obligated to make accommodations only to the known limitations of an 

otherwise qualified student with a disability. It is the student’s responsibility to notify 

the College of disabling conditions and to request accommodations. 

The procedure for so doing is as follows: 

Students wishing to self-identify must do so by contacting the Academic Support 

Center and completing a Self-Identification form and a Request for Accommodations 

and Services. Students must supply appropriate documentation. Such documentation 

includes Individual Education Plans, psychological assessments, and/or medical 

records. These reports need to validate the disabling condition, and must be no more 

than three years old. An original signature must be present either in the records or in a 

letter from an authorized representative of the organization from which the records 

originate in order to be complete. 

The Academic Support Center will maintain a separate, confidential file of this 

information, and will use the information for the exclusive purpose of arranging the 

necessary accommodations for the student. The Academic Support Center will 

arrange these accommodations directly with the people (e.g., individual faculty 

instructors, residence hall directors, director of the physical plant, etc.) who will make


them, and will maintain, in the student’s separate file, a complete record of the 

accommodations provided. 

Students with disabilities who elect not to identify themselves immediately, or who 

develop disabilities after being admitted, may identify themselves and request 

accommodations at anytime. The student may do so by contacting the Academic 

Support Center. 

If testing is required to document the disability, the Academic Support Center will 

refer the student to an appropriate party to be tested. Any costs of such testing will be 

the responsibility of the student requesting accommodation. 

Confidentiality of Medical Information 

All information obtained concerning the medical condition or history of a student with a 

disability will be maintained by the Academic Support Center in separate files and will be 

treated as confidential information that will be disclosed only as necessary for the 

following purposes: 

to identify and arrange the specific accommodations required; 

to inform appropriate College personnel about necessary restrictions on the work or 

duties of a student worker; 

when appropriate, to inform first aid and safety personnel if the disability might 

require emergency treatment, or if any specific procedures are needed in the case of 

fire or other evacuations; 

to provide relevant information to government officials investigating compliance with 

the provisions of the ADA. 

Complaint Procedure 

Any qualified student with a disability who believes his or her rights under the Americans 

with Disabilities Act have been violated is urged to seek redress as follows: 

Report the concern immediately to the Director of the Academic Support Center. If the 

Director cannot alleviate the concern, he or she will refer the matter to Provost within 

three working days. If the case is such that the complainant is not satisfied with the 

response of the Director, he/she may appeal the Director’s decision to the Provost, in 

writing, within three working days.


The Provost will address the issue within ten working days of having received the 

concern. If the Provost cannot alleviate the problem to the satisfaction of the 

complainant, he or she will alert the College President within three working days. 

If the complainant is dissatisfied with the response received from the Provost, they may 

appeal the matter, in writing, to the President within three working days of receiving the 

Provost’s response. The President or President’s designee will review the appeal and 

render a decision within ten working days from the date the appeal is received. This 

decision will be in writing to the student and will be binding. 

Services and Accommodations Provided 

The Director of the Academic Support Center works with students to individualize the 

type and level of accommodations provided to them. The following is a summary of the 

services and accommodations available. 

Tutoring: The service of tutoring is offered to all students. Students may utilize tutoring 

services by contacting the Tutoring Center and scheduling appointments for individual or 

group tutoring.

students who are unable to read regularly printed textbooks or tests. 

Taped Textbooks: Students are encouraged to utilize Recording for the Blind and 

Dyslexic (RFB&D) to acquire commonly used textbooks free of charge. The Academic 

Support Center coordinates the acquisition of available textbooks for the students. 

Note Taking: Students who have a visual impairment or learning disability may request 

note taking as an accommodation. The student and the instructor of the class work 

together, and the instructor appoints a volunteer to act as a note taker. Copying services 

are provided to the student by the Academic Support Center free of charge. 

Test Proctoring and Accommodation: Students who need adaptive testing procedures 

include both learning disabled and physically disabled students. Time extensions, private 

locations for testing, oral test administration, use of an independent proctor, or other 

procedures may be used. The course instructor has the final determination as to the 

method of evaluation. It is the responsibility of the student to remind the instructor to 

send the test to the Academic Support Center the day of the test. Likewise, it is the 

responsibility of the student to notify the Academic Support Center at least two days in 

advance of the scheduled test time in order to make accommodations for the test. 

Liaison with Faculty: Upon request, the Academic Support Center will contact 

instructors and discuss with them the nature of a student’s disability and the appropriate 

classroom and evaluation accommodations to be made.


Equipment: The Academic Support Center has various items for either loan to or general 

use by students with disabilities. Equipment currently on hand includes: 

A computer system with an enhanced monitor for students with visual impairments 

Tape recorders for listening to taped textbooks 

Copying facilities to enlarge images and text 

Recorders for students who need to record lectures 

Other accommodations, services and equipment may be provided on an “as-needed”

FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT (FERPA) 

Glenville State College is committed to maintaining the confidentiality of student records 

and abides by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). The law ensures 

the confidentiality of student records, permits students access to their records and 

prohibits the release of records except by permission of the student or by court order, 

while permitting the continued release of directory information without specific 

permission from the student. Glenville State College designates the following items as 

Directory Information: student name, address, e-mail, telephone number, date and place 

of birth, photograph, field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and 

sports, weight and height of athletes, enrollment status, degrees and awards received, 

dates of attendance, grade level, and schools attended. 

The College may disclose any of those items without prior written consent, unless 

notified by the student in writing to the contrary. Students may complete a Request to 

Prevent Disclosure of Information form in the Registrar’s Office to officially request that 

no information be released. This form remains active for as long as the student remains 

enrolled. Information determined to be part of a student’s educational record may be 

released according to the guidelines included in this policy. 

In order for College officials to disclose student information other than Directory 

Information, to parents, family or anyone other than the individual student, that student 

must complete the appropriate form(s) A Waiver for Release of Information is available 

in the Office of Student Affairs for release of disciplinary and residence life information. 

The Student Consent to Parent/Guardian Access to Educational Records form is


available in the Registrar’s Office and on the college website. Parents may have access 

to a student’s academic records by submitting the Parent/Guardian Request for Access to 

Student’s Educational Records along with a copy of the preceding year’s tax returns to 

demonstrate the student is a tax dependent. This form is available in the Registrar’s 

Office and on the college website. A student has the legal authority to notify the Office 

of the Registrar that he or she is no longer a dependent for federal income tax purposes, at 

which time the release will be rescinded. 

STUDENT CONDUCT CODE 

A complete outline of student obligations and the disciplinary process is contained in the 

Student Conduct Code located in the Student Handbook. 

Academic institutions exist for the transmission of knowledge, the pursuit of truth, the 

development of students, and the general well-being of society. Free inquiry and free 

expression are indispensable to the attainment of these goals. As members of the 

academic community, students are encouraged to develop the capacity for critical 

judgment and to engage in a sustained and independent search for truth. Freedom of the 

individual may be defined as the right to act or speak, so long as it does not adversely 

affect the rights of others. Believing in this concept, Glenville State College will protect 

freedom of action and freedom of speech for both students and employees, so long as it is 

not of an inflammatory or demeaning nature and does not interfere with students’ living 

and study conditions or the administration of its affairs. It shall constitute a disruptive act 

for any member of the campus community to engage in any conduct which would 

substantially obstruct, interfere with or impair instruction, research, administration, 

authorized use of College facilities, the rights and privileges of other members of the 

Glenville community, or disciplinary proceedings. 

Moreover, Glenville State College is committed to improving the quality of student life 

by promoting a diversified educational and cultural experience for all its students. Racist 

conduct or other acts of bigotry will not be tolerated. 

Rights and freedoms imply duties and responsibilities. Note should be taken that a 

student who exercises his or her rights as a private citizen–whether individually or as a 

member of a group–must assume full responsibility for his or her actions. All Glenville 

State College students are subject to, and are required to observe and comply with: the 

laws of the United States; the laws of the State of West Virginia; local city, county and 

municipal ordinances; the policies, rules and regulations of Glenville State College, the 

Glenville State College Board of Governors and the West Virginia Higher Education 

Policy Commission; and the directives of the officers, faculty, and staff of Glenville State 

College who are charged with the administration of institutional affairs on campus. 

Violations of laws and regulations will subject the perpetrator to disciplinary action by 

the College and/or the appropriate civil or criminal court.


Responsibility for good conduct rests with students. Student organizations have similar 

responsibility for maintaining good conduct among their members and guests and at 

activities they sponsor. All members of the campus community are expected to use 

reasonable judgment in their daily campus life and to show due concern for the welfare 

and rights of others. 

For further information about the Glenville State College disciplinary process, please 

refer to the Student Handbook. 

SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY 

Definition of Sexual Harassment 

Sexual harassment undermines the integrity of the College’s work, learning, and teaching 

environments. It is unsolicited, non-reciprocal behavior. Unwelcome sexual advances, 

requests for sexual favors, or other verbal, written, or physical conduct of a sexual nature 

constitute sexual harassment when: 

submission to such conduct is an explicit or implicit condition of employment or 

evaluation; 

submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for 

employment decisions; 

such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an 

individual’s work or educational performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or 

offensive working or learning environment. 

Bringing a Complaint 

Any individual who has observed or feels that he or she has been directly affected by the 

conduct described above may bring a complaint of sexual harassment. Complaints should 

be filed within 30 days of the occurrence of the act in question. This time limit may be 

extended by the Affirmative Action Officer. Any form of retaliation against an individual 

who brings such a complaint in good faith is strictly prohibited. However, any employee 

who knowingly and with malicious intent brings a false charge of sexual harassment 

against another employee will be subject to severe sanctions. 

Responsibilities 

Whenever possible, the complainant should attempt first to resolve the complaint through 

an immediate or next-higher-level supervisor. If this is not feasible or possible, the 

complainant should contact the Affirmative Action Officer for advice and/or assistance. 

If the complaint cannot be resolved informally, the Affirmative Action Officer will assist 

the complainant in defining the charge and completing the complaint form.


If a formal complaint is filed, the Affirmative Action Officer will: 

inform the persons named in the complaint of the allegations against them and notify 

them that no retaliation may occur; 

assist the individuals named in the complaint in defining the charge; 

obtain a response to the complaint within ten working days of the day the complaint 

is filed; 

after receiving the response, investigate the complaint further if appropriate and 

necessary [NOTE: The Affirmative Action Officer will have access to all the 

necessary documents, the authority to call and interview witnesses, and the authority 

to bring together the complainant and respondent if desirable.]; 

within 20 working days of receiving the response of the person(s) named in the 

complaint, issue a finding to all such individuals. If the Affirmative Action Officer 

finds insufficient evidence to substantiate a charge of sexual harassment, he/she will 

inform the complainant of this and advise the complainant that the case is closed. 

if the evidence substantiates a finding of sexual harassment, the Affirmative Action 

Officer will make recommendations for the resolution of the complaint, and ensure 

that appropriate action is taken. Examples of sanctions that may be taken include, but 

are not limited to: a letter of reprimand to be placed in the wrongdoer’s personnel file; 

negative performance evaluation; suspension without pay for a designated period of 

time; or dismissal of the wrongdoer. 

The person named in the complaint (the respondent) will: 

provide a written response to the allegations within ten working days of receiving 

notice of the complaint from the Affirmative Action Officer; 

take no reprisal or retaliation against the complainant, others related to the 

complainant, or persons involved in the complaint investigation. 

The respondent’s supervisor will: 

provide a response to the Affirmative Action Officer within seven working days of 

receiving the recommendation from the Affirmative Action Officer concerning action 

to be taken; take no reprisal or retaliation against the complainant, others related to 

the complainant, or persons involved in the complaint investigation. 

The Affirmative Action Officer of Glenville State College is the Director of Human 

Resources.


CONSENSUAL RELATIONSHIPS 

Consensual relationships between Employees and Students: An ethic of professionalism 

and respect within the College community demands that those with authority not abuse 

the power with which they are entrusted. Consensual amorous/sexual relationships 

between employees and students may not only have negative repercussions for the 

individuals involved, but may create an uncomfortable or distrustful environment for 

others in the community. The power differential complicates the ability to demonstrate 

that any such relationship is fully consensual. Given the complications associated with 

these types of relationships, it should be noted that employees could be faced with a 

personal, civil or criminal action as a result of engaging in such relationships. 

Because of the potential for favoritism or other conflicts of interest, the College affirms 

and upholds a policy which strongly discourages all consensual amorous/sexual activity 

between employees and students, and which prohibits such consensual activity where any 

supervisory role exists. Such conduct also results in relationships that are fundamentally 

unequal. Therefore, 

1) faculty members shall not engage in consensual amorous/sexual relationships 

with advisees and/or students enrolled in their courses, 

2) no employee of the College shall engage in consensual amorous/sexual 

relationships with students under their supervision in such matters as evaluating, 

advising, coaching or directing a student as part of a school program or student 

employment and 

3) any employee found in violation of items 1) or 2) will be subject to disciplinary 

action which may include loss of tenure or termination at the discretion of the 

College president. 

Open honest communication between the College and employees will serve to prevent 

misunderstandings and/or distasteful rumors that can circulate regarding such situations. 

Any employee engaging in a consensual amorous/sexual relationship with a student 

outside of his/her supervisory capacity is encouraged to bring this to the attention of 

his/her immediate supervisor. The student in question must also appear with the 

employee when the appropriate supervisor is informed. 

Non-consensual amorous/sexual relationships (for example, quid-pro-quo arrangements) 

between employees and students are never appropriate and will be faced with disciplinary 

action under the College’s Sexual Harassment Policy.

ACADEMIC APPEALS COMMITTEE 

The Academic Appeals Committee consists of the Associate Registrar and six faculty 

members appointed by the Faculty Senate. 

The Academic Appeals Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the 

Provost and Senior Vice President after hearing appeals from students seeking early 

readmission, those seeking reinstatement following suspension for academic reasons, for 

students who are not eligible for admission to GSC, for students not eligible for admission to 

four year programs at GSC, for students whose academic standing at GSC has affected their 

admission to another college or university and other matters pertaining to admission to 


ACADEMIC COMMON MARKET 

The Academic Common Market is a tuition-savings program for college students in the 16 

Southern Regional Educational Board (SREB) member states who want to pursue degrees 

that are not offered by their in-state institutions. Students can enroll in out-of-state 

institutions that offer their degree program, and pay only the in-state tuition rates. Hundreds 

of undergraduate and graduate programs are available for residents of SREB states. More 

information can be found at http://www.sreb.org/programs/acm/acmindex.aspx. 

The Natural Resource Management: Forestry and Land Surveying are available to students 

in SREB member states if approved by the student’s home state. 

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY 

Glenville State College requires adherence to the College’s standards of academic integrity. 

While every case of academic dishonesty cannot be listed exhaustively, the following 

examples represent some basic types of behavior that are unacceptable and also represent 

those items for which students may be sanctioned. 

1. Cheating: using unauthorized notes, mechanical or electrical devices (calculators, PDAs, 

cell phones, etc.), study aids, or information on an examination; making unauthorized 

changes to graded work and misrepresenting those changes as instructor grading error; 

allowing another person to do one’s work and submitting that work under one’s own 

name; submitting identical or similar papers for credit in more than one course without 

prior permission from the course instructors. 

2. Plagiarism: to plagiarize is, according to Webster’s Third New International 

Dictionary, “To commit literary theft.” Writers or speakers plagiarize if they use words, 

ideas, or arguments of another and make it appear that these materials are their own. To 

avoid the charge of plagiarism when using materials derived from another, the writer 

should follow accepted conventions of punctuation, indentation, and documentation. A 

handbook of composition will provide a list of these conventions. Glenville State 

College defines plagiarism as follows:


a. Quoting material from a particular source, such as a text, article, or Internet 

page, or email, without indicating the source and without placing the directly 

quoted material within quotation marks; 

b. Taking the ideas or arguments of another person without acknowledging the 

source of the ideas or arguments; 

c. Substituting synonyms for an author’s words but preserving the sentence 

structure or mixing the author’s words or phrases within the paraphrasing and 

failing to put the author’s words in quotation marks. Citing the source does not 

excuse you from the charge of plagiarism; 

d. Using a theme (paper or essay) or portion of a theme written by someone else. 

For example, plagiarism occurs if an individual takes or purchases an essay 

from an Internet service or uses someone else’s essay from a previous semester 

or another class. Any assignment that is turned in either for credit or review 

that has been plagiarized will be subject to sanctions of academic dishonesty. 

3. Fabrication: falsifying or inventing any information, data or citation; presenting data 

that were not gathered in accordance with standard guidelines defining the 

appropriate methods for collecting or generating data and failing to include an 

accurate account of the method by which the data were gathered or collected. 

4. Obtaining an Unfair Advantage: (a) stealing, reproducing, circulating or otherwise 

gaining access to examination materials prior to the time authorized by the instructor; 

(b) stealing, destroying, defacing or concealing library materials with the purpose of 

depriving others of their use; (c) unauthorized collaborating on an academic 

assignment (d) retaining, possessing, using or circulating previously given 

examination materials, where those materials clearly indicate that they are to be 

returned to the instructor at the conclusion of the examination; (e) intentionally 

obstructing or interfering with another student’s academic work, or (f) otherwise 

undertaking activity with the purpose of creating or obtaining an unfair academic 

advantage over other students’ academic work. 

5. Aiding and Abetting Academic Dishonesty: (a) providing material, information, or 

other assistance to another person with knowledge that such aid could be used in any 

of the violations stated above, or (b) providing false information in connection with 

any inquiry regarding academic integrity. 

6. Falsification of Records and Official Documents: altering documents affecting 

academic records; forging signatures of authorization or falsifying information on an 

official academic document, grade report, letter of permission, petition, drop/add 

form, ID card, or any other official College document.


7. Unauthorized Access: use of computerized academic or administrative records or 

systems: viewing or altering computer records, modifying computer programs or 

systems, releasing or dispensing information gained via unauthorized access, or 

interfering with the use or availability of computer systems or information. 

PROCEDURES FOR HANDLING CASES OF ACADEMIC DISHONESTY 

1. Within five instructional days from the time the incident of academic dishonesty was 

discovered, the instructor shall submit to the Provost and Senior Vice President a 

written report stating the facts of the case along with any appropriate physical 

evidence and the recommended penalty. The instructor must also send a copy of the 

written report and physical evidence to the student and Department Chairperson. 

2. The Provost shall immediately notify in writing the student, the instructor, and his/her 

advisor of the incident and the recommendation from the instructor that a penalty is 

being imposed and the degree of the sanction. 

3. The Provost shall also advise the student of his/her right to appeal the case to the 

Academic Appeals Committee. Such an appeal must be made in writing and filed 

with the Office of Academic Affairs within thirty calendar days of the notification. 

4. The appeal process shall begin with Level 1 of the Student Academic Appeals 

Grievance Policy. 

5. If the penalty is removal from the course with a grade of “F” or “NC”, and the student 

elects to appeal, the student may remain in the class pending the decision of the 

Academic Appeals Committee 

6. If the penalty is removal from the course with a grade of “F” or “NC” and the student 

does not contest the grade or if the Academic Appeals Committee has denied the 

student’s appeal, then the student will receive a final grade of “F” or “NC” for the 

class and will not be permitted to withdraw from the course, regardless of when the 

offense occurs. The “F” or “NC” will then become part of the student’s permanent 

record. 

7. If the student is found guilty of a second case of academic dishonesty, the Provost 

may suspend him/her from the College in accordance with the academic Probation 

and Suspension Policy. 

8. After the mandatory suspension time has passed, students suspended for academic 

dishonesty may be considered for reinstatement by petitioning the Provost and Senior 

Vice President.


ACADEMIC FORGIVENESS POLICY 

Glenville State College will, under the following conditions, extend academic forgiveness to 

a student who so requests. Under academic forgiveness provisions certain “D,” “F,” and 

“FIW” or “WF” grades will be disregarded for purposes of the grade-point average required 

for graduation. Such calculation, however, does not apply to requirements for graduation 

with honors, nor to requirements for professional certification that may be within the 

province of licensure boards, external agencies, or the West Virginia Board of Education. A 

student who has completed an associate or baccalaureate degree is not eligible to receive 

academic forgiveness. Academic forgiveness will be granted only once for any student. 

1. The student must request academic forgiveness, in writing, to the Registrar within the 

first semester of re-enrollment and must complete within two consecutive semesters at 

least twelve (12) hours of required courses with no grade lower than “C” in order to 

qualify for academic forgiveness. 

2. The student must not have enrolled as a full-time student in any college or university 

during the five consecutive academic years immediately preceding the readmission 

semester. 

3. Only “D,” “F,” and “FIW” or “WF” grades for courses taken at least five years prior to 

the request may be disregarded for grade-point average computation. 

4. In cases in which “D,” “F,” and “FIW” or “WF” grades are disregarded for grade-point 

average computation, these grades shall not be deleted from the student’s permanent 

record. 

5. Once a “D” is disregarded for purposes of grade-point average computation, the credit 

earned is also disregarded. 

6. The Registrar will notify the student of the decision regarding the request for academic 

forgiveness within four weeks following the end of the semester of request. 

7. An action taken by another institution in academic forgiveness for a student who transfers 

to Glenville State College is not binding. The College maintains the right to accept or not 

accept such an action. Similarly, another institution may not recognize academic 

forgiveness that has been extended by Glenville State College. 

Students in the Regents Bachelor of Arts Degree Program are covered by a different 

academic forgiveness policy. However, if otherwise eligible, a student in the Regents 

Bachelor of Arts Degree Program may elect to receive academic forgiveness under the terms 

of this policy or to have grades for some courses forgiven under the terms of this policy and 

forgiven for other courses under the rules of the Regents Bachelor of Arts Degree Program. A 

student entering the Regents Bachelor of Arts Degree Program should contact the Registrar’s 

Office or the Regents Bachelor of Arts Degree Program Coordinator for additional 

information.


ACADEMIC GRIEVANCE POLICY 

The following procedures shall apply to any student who elects to appeal academic 

penalties including: final grade, grade penalty, expulsion from class, denial of admission 

to academic programs or readmission to the College. While actively involved in the 

appeals process, the student may continue to attend class except in the case of the student 

teaching internship which is covered by policies under Requirements for Admission to 

Student Internship in the Glenville State College Catalog. 

Level 1: 

Within seven (7) weekdays* of the assignment of the academic penalty the student must 

write a letter of appeal, complete the Academic Appeal Form and discuss the issue with 

the instructor and the Department Chair. The Academic Appeal Form is available in the 

Registrar’s Office. In the event the instructor is absent from campus, a letter requesting a 

consultation must be sent within the seven (7) weekday period. If the instructor is no 

longer in the employ of Glenville State College, the student shall then consult with the 

Chairperson of the Department in which the course is offered. 

Level 2: 

If the grievance is not resolved at Level 1, the student may appeal to the Academic 

Appeals Committee within seven (7) weekdays* of the decision at Level 1. No person 

shall serve on this Committee who has been previously involved in the appeal. The 

appeal request must be in writing to the Provost and Senior Vice President. 

The Academic Appeals Committee shall hear the grievance. In the hearing the student 

may present evidence or relevant information and may be accompanied by a College 

advisor of their choice. The advisor may consult with the student but may not speak or 

otherwise participate directly in the proceedings unless specifically asked to do so by the 

Committee. The Academic Appeals Committee shall keep a written summary of the 

proceedings. 

The recommendation of the Academic Appeals Committee shall be communicated in 

writing to the Provost immediately. As soon as possible, but no longer than seven (7) 

weekdays*, the Provost will notify the student of his/her decision. 

Level 3: 

A student wishing to appeal the decision of the Provost must do so within seven (7) 

weekdays* of receipt of written notification from the Provost. The appeal must be in 

writing to the President of the College. The President (or his designee) will send a 

written decision within seven (7) weekdays* of receipt of the appeal. The decision of the 

President is final.


At any time during the appeal process, the student may withdraw his/her grievance. 

*A weekday is defined as Monday through Friday when classes are in session during the 

fall, spring or summer semesters. 

ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT STATEMENT 

Disorderly and/or disruptive behavior in the classroom setting may result in an academic 

penalty such as final course grade, grade penalty, exclusion from class, etc. when the 

course instructor has provided written notice to the student. Such notice may be provided 

via the course syllabus or specific written notification (with copy to advisor). Any 

member of the campus community may also file an incident report regarding alleged 

misconduct with Student Affairs for possible sanction in accordance with the Student 

Conduct Code. Appeals of academic penalty will be referred to the Academic Appeals 

Committee and will be governed by the Student Academic Grievance Policy. Appeals of 

sanctions imposed under the Student Conduct Code will be reviewed in accordance with 

the processes outlined in the Code (see Student Handbook for details). Incident reports of 

alleged student misconduct are permanently maintained in the Office of Student Affairs. 

ADVANCED PLACEMENT 

High school students who have completed advanced placement examinations of the 

College Board with a minimum score of 3 will receive credit at Glenville State College. 

The list of advanced placement exams offered by the College Board may be obtained 

from the Registrar’s Office. 

ADVANCED STANDING 

Glenville State College has a program of admissions with advanced standing. 

Recognition is given to advanced scholastic attainment in secondary school by granting 

the student credit in basic courses and advanced standing in specified subject areas in 

which outstanding achievement and ability have been demonstrated. 

The academic area in which advanced standing may be made and the specific standard is 

given below: 

English - The student shall have made no grade in English less than “B” for the four 

years of secondary school and shall have made a score of 26 or more on the English 

portion of the ACT or 590 or more on the English portion of the SAT. Any student 

qualifying on the above standards will be placed in English 102-Critical Reading and 

Writing II: American Mosaic, and Advanced Standing credit will be given for English 

101-Critical Reading and Writing I, credited to the student’s records after successful 

completion of English 102-Critical Reading and Writing II: American Mosaic or twelve 

(12) hours.


Mathematics - The student shall have made no grade in mathematics less than “B” for 

the four years of secondary school and shall have made a score of 26 or more on the 

mathematics portion of the ACT or 600 or more on the mathematics portion of the SAT. 

Any student qualifying on the above standards will be given Advanced Standing Credit 

for Mathematics 102-College Algebra credited to the student’s records after successful 

completion of a higher-level Math or twelve (12) hours. 

ARRANGED COURSE POLICY 

1. A course may not be arranged for a student in a program, other than teacher education, if 

the next scheduled offering of that class occurs before the student’s expected date of 

graduation. A course may not be arranged for a student in a teacher education program if 

the next scheduled offering of that class occurs before the student’s expected student 

intern semester. 

2. A course may not be arranged for a student if the student has previously attempted the 

course and failed or previously enrolled and dropped. 

3. A course may not be arranged for a student if the course is currently being offered. 

Arrangements may be made by the student with the instructor of record of that course to 

enroll in the scheduled course and satisfy the course requirements by alternate means in 

case of a class schedule conflict. 

4. A course may not be arranged for a student if the course was offered during the 

preceding semester without documentation that the student could not enroll in the course 

because of a class schedule conflict. 

5. A course may not be arranged for a student by any faculty member who has not 

previously taught the course at Glenville State College. 

6. Exceptions to this policy will be made only in cases of significant extenuating 

circumstances. In such cases, the written approval of the instructor assigned to arrange 

the course, the Chair of the Department in which the course is housed, and the Provost 

and Senior Vice President are required. A written statement must be attached delineating 

the exception(s) being made with detailed justification for each exception. 

7. A student’s request to have a course arranged may be denied by the appropriate academic 

official(s) of Glenville State even if the student’s request is not disqualified by any of the 

preceding provisions of this policy. In such case, a written statement delineating the 

reason(s) for the denial must be provided to the student and his academic advisor.


ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT LEARNING 

The College requires each academic program to conduct periodic assessments of the 

learning objectives set for each program. These program reviews include course based 

assessments and programmatic assessments, which include student performance in the 

gateway and capstone courses required in each field of study. Additional information on 

the College’s assessment/program review process is available through the Office of 

Academic Affairs. 

AUDITING COURSES 

Students may audit courses upon the approval of their faculty advisor and the instructor 

of the course. Enrollment and payment of fees are required for audited courses. Courses 

audited are counted as a part of the student’s maximum permissible semester course load. 

Therefore, a student may not audit classes which, if taken for credit, would constitute 

excess semester hours, unless authorized by the Provost. 

Audited courses will not count toward certification for veterans’ benefits, athletic 

eligibility, financial aid eligibility, or certification as a full-time student. At any time prior 

to the end of the last day for adding classes, students who have pre-registered to audit a 

course may be removed from the roll of the course on a last enrolled-first removed basis 

in order to permit the registration of students who want to take the course for credit. 

A student may change from “Audit” to “Credit” at any time prior to the end of the last 

day for adding classes. Once a change to “credit” is made, the student will come under 

the normal grading system. A student may change from “Credit” to “Audit” until the last 

day to withdraw with a grade of “W”. However, if a student has changed from “Credit” to 

“Audit,” the report of “Audit” for the course will be treated as if it were a “W” for the 

purposes of determining the student’s academic progress for financial aid purposes. 

CLASS ATTENDANCE POLICY 

The resources of Glenville State College are provided for the intellectual growth and 

development of the students who attend. A schedule of courses is provided for students 

and faculty to facilitate an orderly arrangement of the program of instruction. The fact 

that classes are scheduled is evidence that attendance is important and students should, 

therefore, maintain regular attendance if they are to attain success in the pursuit of their 

studies. 

At the beginning of each semester, all professors will provide in the course syllabi a 

clearly written statement to all their classes regarding their policies in handling absences. 

Students are obligated to adhere to the stated requirements of each course.


It may be necessary for the student to be absent from scheduled classes or laboratories for 

personal reasons. On such occasions, all matters related to a student’s absences, including 

the making up of work missed, are to be arranged between the student and the professor. 

Professors will be flexible enough in their attendance and grading policies to allow 

students a reasonable number of absences without penalty for extraordinary personal 

reasons or for officially-sanctioned college activities. The student should also understand 

that he/she is responsible for the academic consequences of any absences. The standard 

of practice is allowing one absence per credit hour; however, each professor may choose 

an alternate attendance policy as long as it is specified in the syllabus and filed in the 

Office of Academic Affairs. 

All instructors, including those who choose an alternate attendance policy, shall 

maintain a record of student attendance for all classes. 

If the student has exceeded the number of allowable absences for the specific course, the 

instructor may elect to suspend the student from the class for lack of attendance. 

1. The instructor sends the recommendation for suspension to the Department Secretary. 

2. The Department Secretary sends an e-mail notifying the student that he/she needs to 

withdraw from the course prior to the deadline for withdrawing from a class with a 

“W” or they will receive an “FIW” for the course. 

3. If the student has not withdrawn from the class prior to the deadline for withdrawing 

from a class, his/her name will be sent to the Registrar’s Office. The Registrar’s 

Office will post the final grade of “FIW” and the student will not be permitted to 

withdraw from the class. 

If the student is suspended from the course, he/she may appeal the suspension in 

accordance with the Glenville State College Academic Grievance Policy. This policy is 

found in the College Catalog. Until the appeal process is complete, the student may 

continue to attend the course in question. 

CLASS CANCELLATION FOR INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY 

College policy is to maintain normal operations in adverse weather conditions. The 

College’s president or designee can, however, if conditions warrant delay the start of 

classes, cancel classes for the day, or close the College for the day. The same policy and 

exceptions apply to an emergency situation. 

Members of the campus community are urged to use good judgment in deciding if they 

can safely travel to and from campus in adverse weather conditions. Faculty are urged to 

make attendance policy considerations for the difficulties that some commuter students


may encounter due to adverse weather conditions and provide opportunities to make up 

missed assignments. 

Students who select not to report for classes should notify their instructors by email or 

phone. Faculty members are expected to notify their department chair if they select not 

to hold class. When possible, instructors should notify their students by email of their 

decision to cancel specific classes. Members of the College’s staff are also expected to 

notify their supervisor if they select not to report to work or will be reporting late. 

Information on class cancellation or college closing will be available as follows. 

The cancellation of classes will be posted on the Glenville State College website at 

www.glenville.edu. College closing will be posted on the College website as well as 

the West Virginia Department of Education web site at http://wvde.state.wv.us. 

The announcement of the canceling of classes or closing of the College will be 

broadcast over area television and radio stations. The television stations are: 

WDTV-5, WBOY-12, WTAP-15, WSAZ-3, WCHS-8, WOWK-13 and WOAY-4. 

Radio stations include: WBRB (93.1, 101.3 FM), WVRC (104.7 FM), WKKW (97.9 

FM), WSSN (102.3 FM), WFBY (106.5 FM), WCIR (103.7 FM), WHAW (980 

AM), WVAR (600 AM) and the West Virginia Public Radio network (the closest 

transponder being 88.9 FM). 

You can call 304-462-7361 and the operator or a recorded message will give you 

class cancellation or college closing information. 

Every reasonable effort will be made by 6:00 a.m. to determine the need to delay the start 

of classes or to close the College for the day. As needed, notification of the media and 

campus community will take place immediately thereafter. 

A delay in the start of classes will normally be no more than two class periods on 

Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and one class period on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 

For example, the first two class sessions on a Monday morning would be cancelled and 

classes would resume with the third class session (10:00 a.m. classes). On Tuesdays and 

Thursdays the school day will normally resume with 9:30 a.m. classes. In such cases, 

morning lab sessions will resume when classes resume (e.g. a TTH lab session starting at 

8:00 a.m. will resume at 9:30 a.m.).


CLEP AND DANTES 

Glenville State College accepts CLEP and DANTES scores for college credit. The CLEP 

General Examinations covers seventeen (17) hours of our General Education 

requirements and eighty (80) semester hours are available in Subject Examinations. A 

score of 500 is required on all General Examinations and a score of fifty (50) is required 

for all subject exams. There are forty-two (42) semester hours available for college credit 

through DANTES. The score required varies with each test. 

Except for students in the Regents Bachelor of Arts Program, students will not be eligible 

for CLEP credit until they have successfully earned twelve (12) hours of credit from 

Glenville State College. After a student has completed twenty-eight (28) semester hours 

of college work, including CLEP and other special credit, they may not receive credit for 

the General Examinations at Glenville State College. 

For additional information contact the Academic Support Center. 

COURSE CREDIT BY EXAMINATION POLICY 

1. All students who request course credit by examination will be required to pay a 

$30.00 per semester hour administrative fee. 

2. All course credit examinations must be taken and recorded prior to the final exam 

period to receive credit for the term in which the course credit exam is taken. 

3. A student may not attempt a course exam in which s/he has previously earned a 

grade of “F”, “WF”, “FIW”, or “D”. 

4. All credit by examinations must be read by at least three instructors within the 

department before credit for the course is awarded. The department chair will 

submit the report of examination to the Registrar’s Office. 

5. A grade of “CR” (Credit) will be awarded to those who pass a credit by exam. 

6. A student may take a credit by examination for a specific course only one time.


DEGREE EVALUATION FOR GRADUATION 

For the purpose of assisting the student and faculty advisor in meeting all degree 

requirements, a degree evaluation is required. 

Once a student has earned 80 hours towards a four-year degree or 40 hours towards a 

two-year degree, the student must request an evaluation of earned hours within the 

program(s) of study. Students make their request at the Registrar’s Office by completing 

a Request for Evaluation form. The evaluation is conducted by the Certification Analyst 

and will include the remaining courses/requirements for obtaining the desired degree. 

To permit adequate time for processing, degree evaluation requests must be submitted by 

the mid-semester date that is identified on the official semester class schedule. Such 

requests submitted by mid-semester will be processed in the chronological order 

submitted. Every effort will be made to have all such degree evaluation requests 

completed prior to the next registration date. After an evaluation has been completed, 

electronic copies will be sent to the student and the student’s advisor. The student should 

keep a copy for future reference in the completion of degree requirements. Upon receipt 

of the copy of the degree evaluation, the student is responsible to note requirements 

identified and to make inquiry if there is any doubt of the student being able to meet any 

of them. The College recommends that the student confer frequently with the faculty 

advisor in reference to the degree evaluation to assure satisfactory progress toward the 

completion of the degree and graduation. 

DECLARATION OF MAJORS 

Students are expected to choose their field or fields of study as early as possible in their 

college experience. To delay doing this may mean that the student will experience 

difficulty in completing a program in a timely fashion. Students who do not declare a 

major upon enrolling will be designated as undeclared. The form for changing/adding 

majors/minors is available in the Office of the Registrar and online. 

ELECTRONIC DIGITAL COMMUNICATION DEVICES 

Glenville State College values the time and effort involved in the learning process. 

Interruptions caused by rings and musical selections from electronic digital 

communication devices interrupt and disrespect the opportunities for student learning in 

the classroom environment. 

When in the college classroom, all electronic digital communication devices must be 

turned off and out of sight. Laptop computers may be used only for course-related 

activities with instructor permission. There may be no conversations via electronic 

digital communication device, whether audible or text-messaging, while in the Glenville


State College classroom. In an emergency situation, the instructor may give a student 

permission to use an electronic digital communication device. 

The instructor has the right to ask the student to leave the classroom for the remainder of 

the class period if the student uses an electronic digital communication device during 

class. If the student leaves the room to speak on an electronic digital communication 

device, it is at the instructor’s discretion as to whether or not the student may return to the 

classroom when the conversation is completed. 

ENROLLMENT IN OTHER INSTITUTIONS 

Any student at Glenville State College who plans to enroll in another college or 

university for one or more courses and expects to transfer the hours to Glenville State 

College must first complete a permission to transfer credit form and have it approved in 

the Registrar’s Office. Students are not eligible to receive federal financial aid based on 

hours taken at another institution, nor do the hours taken count toward full-time student 

status. 

EXAMINATIONS AND GRADES 

In semester courses a student will receive a final grade that is based on daily participation 

grades, a test or tests, and other assignments given during the semester. The method of 

grading for the course shall be defined in the course syllabus. The instructor may or may 

not give a special mid-semester examination. 

Students must take all regular examinations and complete all assignments. Absence from 

examinations may cause failure in a course regardless of attendance at class sessions and 

completion of prescribed work. If, in the opinion of the instructor, the absence was for a 

sufficient reason, the student may, upon application and approval, take the examination at 

a later date. No student may take a final examination at any other time than the regular 

scheduled time without the consent of the Provost and Senior Vice President. 

Final grades are based on class standing for the entire semester. 

FACULTY ADVISORS 

Students will be assigned to faculty advisors when they enter the College. Students 

should meet with their advisor regularly, but at least once each semester. Faculty 

advisors help students in matters of study habits, scheduling, advice in the educational 

program, and career opportunities related to the educational program.


CHANGE OF ADVISORS 

Occasionally, a student may wish to change advisors. The request to change advisors 

should be made to the advisee’s Department Chair. If the Department Chair concurs that 

a change should be made, a Change of Advisor form should be completed and forwarded 

to the Registrar where the change will be made in the college data system. 

The student, previous advisor, and new advisor will be informed of the change. The 

previous advisor should send any accumulated documentation to the new advisor for 

his/her use. 

GRADING SYSTEM 

The grading system at Glenville State College is: 

A Superior 

B Good 

C Average 

D Below average 

F Failure 

I Incomplete 

CR Credit 

NC No Credit 

S Satisfactory 

U Unsatisfactory 

AU Audit 

W Withdrew 

FIW Failure due to irregular withdrawal from school or from a single class 

NR No report - The status of “NR” will be assigned at the discretion of the Registrar. 

CEC College Equivalent Credit (applicable toward Regents BA degree only) 

CEU Continuing Education Credit 

Incomplete grades are given to students who miss course work due to circumstances 

beyond their control. The student and instructor of record must complete a “Request for 

Incomplete” form that details the work to be completed and the timelines for completion. 

To allow adequate time for processing, the form must be submitted before final 

examinations begin. The request must be approved by the instructor of record, the 

Chairperson of the Department, and the Provost. The remaining course work must be 

completed no later than the end of the following semester. An “incomplete” for the fall 

semester must be completed no later than the end of the spring semester; an “incomplete” 

for the spring semester must be completed no later than the end of the fall semester; and 

an “incomplete” for a summer session must be completed no later than the end of the fall 

semester. If the deficiency represented by “I” is not made up as stipulated by these 

timelines, the “I” automatically becomes “F” at the end of the allotted makeup period.


CREDIT-NO CREDIT GRADES 

Certain classes may be offered for which a grade of credit (CR) or a grade of no-credit 

(NC) is given. In such cases all students enrolled in that class will be given a grade of 

either “CR” or “NC”. Neither of these grades will be used in the computation of a grade 

point average. Approval for a class to be offered on a credit-no credit option must be 

granted by the Academic Affairs Committee. 

GRADING FOR DEVELOPMENTAL COURSES 

All developmental courses are graded by a Satisfactory (S)/Unsatisfactory (U) grading 

mode. 

As S/U graded courses, they are used for billing and in the calculation of total hours for 

the semester. 

As S/U graded courses, the courses are not calculated in GPA or total earned credit 

hours; they do not interfere with eligibility for financial aid. 

As S/U graded courses, an “Unsatisfactory” will not be calculated into GPA: 

consequently it is not punitive. The grade in a developmental course will neither count 

“for” or “against” a student as they are acclimating to the demands of college. 

When grades for developmental courses are transferred into Glenville State College, 

they will be recorded as S/U. Any grade earned less than a “C” will be recorded as a 

“U.” 

Faculty teaching developmental courses will be required to maintain grades of A, B, 

C, D or F for each student. However, a grade of S/U will be reported at four-weeks, 

mid-semester and as the final course grade. 

QUALITY POINTS 

The quality-point average is computed on all work for which the student has registered 

with the following exceptions: 

a. Courses with grades of “W”, “Credit (CR)”, “No Credit (NC)”, “Satisfactory (S)” 

“Unsatisfactory (U)”, “No Report (NR)” and “Audit (AU).” 

b. If a student earns a grade of “D” or “F” for any course taken no later than the 

semester or summer term during which they attempt the sixtieth semester hour, and if 

they repeat the course prior to the receipt of a baccalaureate degree, the original grade 

shall be disregarded and the grade or grades earned when the course is repeated shall 

be used in determining his or her grade point average. The original grade shall not be 

deleted from the student’s record. Any course in which a student has earned a “C” or 

better cannot be repeated for credit. If students want to improve their knowledge of a 

subject in which a “C” or better was earned, they may audit the course.


Grades received carry the equivalent of the following quality points: 

A 4 D 1 

B 3 F 0 

C 2 FIW 0 

Quality points may be transferable among the colleges and universities under the 

jurisdiction of the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission. 

For graduation and/or certification the applicant shall have at least a quality point ratio of 

2.00 (average of “C”) on all work attempted as well as work taken at Glenville State 

College with the exception of courses with grades of “W”. Some academic programs, 

however, may require a higher minimum grade point average for successful completion 

of the program. 

GRADE CHANGES 

If a student believes that a final course grade has been inaccurately assigned, he/she 

should contact the course instructor within 7 weekdays of the assignment of the grade. If 

the assigned grade is to be changed, the course instructor must complete and submit a 

“Grade Change Request” form to the Registrar’s Office within 7 weekdays of the 

decision to change the grade. If the student does not agree with the instructor’s decision, 

he/she will need to request an “Academic Appeal” form from the Registrar’s Office 

within 7 weekdays of consulting with the course instructor, obtain the necessary 

signatures and return the form to the Registrar’s Office. Grades will not be changed after 

this time period has elapsed unless the grade change issue is in the student academic 

grievance process. See the “Student Academic Grievance Policy” for additional 

information. 

PROBATION AND SUSPENSION POLICY 

Glenville State College’s academic probation and suspension policy was created for the 

purpose of providing support for students who are having academic difficulties. The 

current academic standing for each student is noted in the student’s academic records 

accessed through the GSC homepage. Students are encouraged to use the services 

provided by the College’s Academic Support Center to improve performance. 

Academic Probation 

Academic Probation means that a student’s overall cumulative GPA is below the 

minimum acceptable level as determined by the total number of hours attempted. 

Academic probation indicates a student’s continued enrollment is in jeopardy. 

Minimum cumulative GPA requirements are as follows:


Hours Attempted 

Cumulative GPA 

0 - 42 hours 1.50 GPA 

43 - 60 hours 1.80 GPA 

61 or above hours 2.00 GPA 

Failure to meet the minimum cumulative GPA will result in academic probation. 

In order to avoid suspension from Glenville State College, the student must earn a 2.00 or 

higher GPA for each subsequent semester OR earn and maintain at least the minimum 

GPA for the number of hours attempted (see above). If a student earns a 2.00 or higher 

GPA for each subsequent semester, he/she will be continued on probation until he/she 

earns at least the minimum GPA for the number of hours attempted necessary to be 

removed from academic probation. Students on probation may carry no more than 15 

hours per semester. 

Academic Suspension 

When a student’s attempt to avoid academic suspension is unsuccessful, the student will 

not be allowed to continue enrollment at Glenville State College for a specified period of 

time. 

1 st Academic Suspension 1 semester 

2 nd Academic Suspension 2 semesters 

3 rd Academic Suspension 5 years* 

4 th Academic Suspension Final dismissal from school 

*A third suspension will be for a period of five years, the length of time required for 

academic forgiveness eligibility (see Academic Forgiveness Policy in the College 

Catalog). 

After the mandatory suspension time has passed, the student must submit an application 

to Glenville State College in order to be reinstated. Suspensions will occur at the end of 

the fall and spring semesters. Only fall and spring semesters constitute semesters for 

mandatory suspension. 

Suspended students are not eligible to return to the College as full-time students the term 

following their suspension. However, they may enroll for up to six hours during the term 

of their suspension. Students completing six hours with no grade lower than a “C” may 

return the next term as full-time students on probation or as regular students depending 

on their cumulative grade point average. Students continued on suspension or suspended 

a second time may not enroll on the above part-time basis during their suspension. These 

students must formally apply for readmission at the end of their suspension. Credit/nocredit 

courses do not count toward the six hour requirement.


The status of any student transferring from another institution of higher education will be 

determined in accordance with the above policies. A student suspended from another 

institution of higher education will not be admitted to Glenville State College until he/she 

is eligible to return to that institution. 

A student has the right to appeal his/her suspension to the Academic Appeals Committee. 

The petition must be submitted in writing, to the Provost and Senior Vice President, at 

least thirty days prior to the beginning of the desired semester for reinstatement. A 

student who has been reinstated will continue to be governed by the probation and 

suspension policies. 

REPEATING A COURSE 

Students earning a grade of “D” or “F” (including failures due to irregular (“FIW”) 

withdrawal) on any course taken no later than the semester during which he/she attempts 

the sixtieth (60th) semester hour may repeat this course prior to the receipt of an associate 

or baccalaureate degree. If this is done, the original grade is disregarded and the grade or 

grades earned when the course is repeated is used in determining the grade point average. 

The original grade does, however, remain on the student’s transcript. This policy applies 

to ONLY the first repeat of a course in which the student earned a grade below a “C”. 

Students may not repeat for credit a course in which they have earned a grade of “C” or 

better. If students want to improve their knowledge of a subject in which a “C” or better 

was earned, they may repeat the course for a grade of “Audit.” 

After the attempted sixtieth (60th) semester hour, the repeat policy does not apply and all 

course attempts are utilized in the computation of the grade point average. 

SCHOLASTIC HONORS 

The President’s Honor List 

A student who makes a perfect grade average of 4.0 quality points on 12 or more hours is 

placed on the President’s Honor List. 

The Provost’s Honor List 

A student who makes a minimum grade average of 3.5 quality points on 12 or more hours 

is placed on the Provost’s Honor List. 

Note: Courses graded as Credit/No Credit or Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory do not count 

toward selection on the President’s or Provost’s Honor List. 

Honors Distinction (awarded at Commencement) 

Students with cumulative averages of 3.85-4.00 on all course work are graduated with 

highest honors (summa cum laude).


Students with cumulative averages of 3.7-3.84 on all course work are graduated with high 

honors (magna cum laude). 

Students with cumulative averages of 3.5-3.69 on all course work are graduated with 

honors (cum laude). 

TRANSCRIPTS 

A fee of $5.00 is charged for each transcript. Credit or debit cards are accepted through 

the Registrar’s Office or Cashier’s Office. Ordinarily transcripts are prepared within a 

week after the request has been received. Full payment must accompany each request. All 

requests for transcripts should be made directly to the Registrar’s Office. Transcripts will 

be furnished only upon the written request of the student. 

Transcripts will not be issued to students who have a hold on their record for such 

reasons as a financial hold on their records or to students who have not supplied the 

college with transcripts of all their previous academic work. 

A request for a transcript should include name, identification number, permanent address 

and the dates of attendance at Glenville State College and the address(es) to which the 

transcript(s) are to be mailed. Any name change(s) should be noted on the application. 

VETERAN’S STANDARDS OF PROGRESS AND ATTENDANCE POLICY 

Veterans must be in compliance with the above academic standards in order to draw 

educational benefits. In accordance with Veterans Administration regulations, the 

enrollment of veterans is regularly checked. If a veteran withdraws from a course, or 

courses, a 1999-b form is submitted to the Department of Veterans Affairs adjusting the 

course load, or withdrawing the student entirely, whichever is appropriate. 

ADMINISTRATIVE WITHDRAWAL (FIW) 

Faculty members may recommend the removal (administrative withdrawal) of a student from 

class for disruptive behavior, repeated failure to follow instructions, and excessive absences. 

In such cases, faculty members will forward their written recommendation to the Office of 

the Registrar. The Registrar will advise the student of the recommendation and then in 

consultation with the Provost rule on the recommendation. 

Faculty members are expected to have advised the student and the College Completion 

Center of their intent to recommend that the student be withdrawn from class prior to 

submission of their recommendation. If the recommendation is approved, a grade of FIW 

will be posted to the student’s transcript. 

Students may appeal the administrative withdrawal through the Academic Appeals 

Committee.


POLICY AND PROCEDURES WITHDRAWING FROM A CLASS 

Students may withdraw from a course with a grade of “W” for a specified time period 

after mid-semester grades are reported as published in the academic calendar. Students 

who want to withdraw from class should meet with their advisor to secure a drop slip. 

Once the form is completed, it should be taken to the respective department secretary for 

processing. 

After the last date to withdraw with a grade of “W,” students may only withdraw from a 

class for medical reasons or other circumstances beyond their control as approved by the 

Provost. A “W” will be utilized for students who withdraw (for extenuating 

circumstances) from their courses after the published withdraw date. No student may 

withdraw from a class(es) once final exams have begun. 

The last day for withdrawal for summer classes will be published in the academic 

calendar and in the appropriate schedule of courses. 

POLICY AND PROCEDURE FOR WITHDRAWING FROM COLLEGE 

It is the responsibility of a student desiring to withdraw from college to appear before the 

Vice President for Enrollment Management and announce his/her intention to withdraw. 

At the time of withdraw, the student will sign a withdrawal card stating the date of 

withdrawal and the reason(s) for leaving College. Students who fail to comply with this 

regulation within 10 school days after leaving the College will be reported as irregularly 

withdrawn, and all grades on all subjects carried will be recorded as “FIW”. Refunds are 

subject to recorded date of withdraw. 

POLICY AND PROCEDURE FOR WITHDRAWING FROM COLLEGE DUE TO 

MILITARY DEPLOYMENT 

Any student who has been called to active duty, and is currently enrolled in classes at 

Glenville State College, must report to the Registrar’s Office as soon as possible and 

complete all necessary forms for withdrawal. At that time, the student should bring with 

them any and all deployment papers. 

If the student should decide to return to Glenville State College, he/she should fill out an 

application for readmission and notify the Registrar’s Office of their intent to begin 

classes. Also, at this time any paperwork required to certify the student for veterans’ 

benefits will be completed.


WRITING ACROSS THE CURRICULUM 

In order to enhance the writing and thinking skills of its students, Glenville State College 

has begun to institute a writing-across-the-curriculum program. Select courses have been 

targeted as “writing-intensive.” Courses identified as “writing-intensive” have the 

following objectives: 

1. To acquaint students with writing-to-learn strategies in order to help them think more 

effectively in a specific academic area; 

2. To improve communications skills through an increased amount of graded and 

upgraded writing.


GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREES 

1. Baccalaureate degrees require a minimum of 128 semester hours; associate degrees 

require a minimum of 64. In order to graduate students must earn a minimum 2.00 

grade point average overall and on all work taken at this institution. Some academic 

programs require a higher minimum grade point average for graduation. 

Baccalaureate students must earn a grade of “C” or better in all majors, minors and 

areas of specialization. Students enrolled in an associate degree program (other than 

general studies) must earn a grade of “C” or better in each course within their degree 

program that is designated as “area of specialization”. An Exit Assessment is 

required for every student completing a baccalaureate degree program. 

2. A major and minor specialization is required for most baccalaureate degrees. In the 

Bachelor of Arts in Education degree programs the fields selected must conform to 

licensure requirements as set by the West Virginia Department of Education. 

3. Of the 128 hours required for graduation, a minimum of 45 must be earned in courses 

on the junior and senior level (numbered 300-400). 

4. Transfer students must earn a minimum of 32 hours from Glenville State College to 

graduate with a bachelor’s degree or 16 hours to earn an associate degree. The last 

six hours prior to graduation must be earned at this institution unless the Provost and 

Senior Vice President grants permission for those hours to be taken elsewhere. 

5. Candidates for all degrees must complete the appropriate general education program 

of the College. Students who are graduates of an accredited baccalaureate institution 

are not required to complete any additional general education courses unless the 

courses are specifically required for the academic program(s) in which they are 

enrolled. Exception: Graduates of the Regents Bachelor of Arts program may be 

required to complete additional general education courses. 

6. Students in all degree programs must meet the English proficiency requirement of the 


7. Substitutions for required courses must be initiated by the student’s faculty advisor. 

The request must be approved by the Department Chair within whose department the 

required course is offered. The final decision is made by the Provost and Senior Vice 

President. 

8. All fees and financial obligations to the College must be met. All candidates (except 

the Regents Bachelor of Arts) who complete graduation requirements in May are 

required to participate in commencement. 

9. Students must satisfy all college regulations and requirements for graduation.


10. Students planning to graduate must apply for graduation by the published deadline. 

Applications are available on the GSC website or in the Registrar’s Office. 

ENGLISH PROFICIENCY POLICY 

As a graduation requirement all candidates for an associate or baccalaureate degree at 

Glenville State College must demonstrate proficiency in the English language. A teacher 

education candidate must fulfill the requirement prior to being admitted to a teacher 

education program. 

Each student is required to achieve grades of “C” or better in both English 101 and 102. 

If a student makes a “D” or an “F” in English 101 or 102, he or she will be required to 

repeat such course(s) to achieve the grade of “C” or better. In such a case, only the last 

grade earned in the repeated course(s) is counted in determining English proficiency. 

DEGREE PROGRAM AND COURSE PLACEMENT 

Minimum Level ACT, SAT or Accuplacer Test Scores 

Before registering, any student who fails to meet the West Virginia Higher Education 

Policy Commission’s Freshman Assessment and Placement Standards in English and 

mathematics is tested in basic skills in these areas. Test results, as well as data from ACT 

scores, analysis of secondary school records are reviewed in order to determine each 

student’s need for basic skills courses. 

Students with an ACT verbal score of less than 18 or SAT score of less than 450 will take 

the ACCUPLACER sentence skills to determine if they need placement in Development 

English. Students with an ACT mathematics score of less than 19 or SAT scores of less 

than 460, will take an ACCUPLACER to determine the appropriate level of mathematics 

for the student. Students with an ACT mathematics score of less than 17 or SAT score of 

less than 400 will be placed in Developmental Mathematics 003 without testing. 

An ACCUPLACER placement test will be administered to any student without ACT, 

SAT or equivalent scores. 

Students identified as needing developmental courses in English and mathematics 

are required to successfully complete those courses prior to enrolling in college level 

courses in the same areas. Students placed in developmental courses in English or 

mathematics are required to enroll in these courses upon admission and continue in 

these courses until they have successfully met the exit requirements. Placement and 

specific recommendations on developmental courses are available to the advisor during 

the advising process.


High School Deficiencies in Mathematics or Science 

Students graduating from high school who do not have four units of mathematics 

(Algebra I and at least two higher) and three units of laboratory science are considered 

deficient. Students who are deficient do not meet the admissions criteria for a four-year 

program and must enroll in a two-year program. Once the student has remediated his/her 

deficiencies, or completed an associate degree, he/she may transfer into a four-year 

program. Students deficient in mathematics may remediate their deficiency by obtaining 

a grade of “S” in MTHF 003-Elementary Algebra and/or MTHF 004-College Level 

Math. Students deficient in science may remediate their deficiency by obtaining a grade 

of “C” or better in any General Education science course where all prerequisites are met. 

Developmental Course Requirements 

Students who are required to enroll in MTHF 003-Developmental Math-Elementary 

Algebra must obtain a grade of “S” before enrolling in MTHF 004-Developmental Math- 

Intermediate Algebra. Students required to enroll in MTHF 004-Developmental Math- 

Intermediate Algebra must obtain a grade of “S” before enrolling in any college level 

math course. Students who are required to enroll in the basic skills writing course ENGF 

002-Developmental English must obtain a grade of “S” before enrolling in ENGL 101- 

Critical Reading and Writing I. 

Students may enroll in college courses along with developmental courses except for the 

following provision. Those students who are required to enroll in developmental 

courses in either mathematics or English are not eligible to enroll in regular college 

level mathematics or English courses until he/she has completed the developmental 

courses. The combined schedule load of regular and developmental courses must not 

exceed the normal college load (maximum of 18 hours). 

If, after enrolling in English 001, the instructor determines that the student has 

demonstrated a skill level appropriate for success in English 101, the student may transfer 

into the English 101 course. The period of transfer into the regular academic course shall 

extend up to mid-semester. Students who transfer from English 001-Developmental 

English at the mid-semester will enter English 101-Critical Reading and Writing I with 

those competencies and skills necessary for working successfully into the regular 

curriculum at that particular point. 

Students having difficulties in a regularly scheduled academic course may drop the 

course with a grade of “W” and add a developmental course in a corresponding area up 

until one week after mid-semester.


GSC 100 EXEMPTIONS 

All new students are eligible to enroll in The First-Year Experience Course (GSC 100), 

however it is required only of students who are under 21 years of age. Transfer students 

under 21 years of age may apply to be exempted from GSC 100 if they have completed a 

full-time semester of college work (12 hours or more excluding developmental courses) 

with no grade lower than a “C”. Students with more than 27 hours of dual credit earned 

while they were in high school may also request to be exempted from this requirement. 

Requests for an exemption must be filed with the Office of the Registrar before the 

beginning of classes for the term of admission.

INTERDISCIPLINARY AND GENERAL STUDIES 

The College offers three degree programs designed to provide students with the 

opportunity to tailor their degree program to their specific educational goals. 

INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES 

The Interdisciplinary Studies Program (IDS) leads to the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor 

of Science degree. The degree requirements are as follows: 

1. All general institutional requirements for the B.A. or B.S. degree (e.g. a 

required minimum of 128 hours, 45 of which must be upper division 

level). 

2. The General Education program (43 hours). 

3. A concentration area from two or more disciplines of at least 48 hours of 

classes, half of which must be upper division level. Each concentration 

area must include at least 15 hours in courses within the concentration. 

4. A student entering the IDS program after the semester in which the student 

has accumulated 90 credit hours must have a 2.5 average. In order to 

graduate with an IDS degree, a student must have at least a 2.5 GPA. 

5. Under the supervision and with the recommendation of the Academic 

Affairs Committee, students and their advisors develop their own 

concentration area from courses already in the catalog. The concentration 

area consists of a combination of courses having a clear central purpose 

and aimed at a specific learning objective that is different from objectives 

of the major fields of study established at Glenville State College. Hours 

not required in the concentration area or by the college will be electives. 

6. All IDS programs must be approved in advance by the Provost and Senior 

Vice President.


REGENTS BACHELOR OF ARTS 

DEGREE PROGRAM 

An innovative bachelor’s degree program designed for the adult student was developed 

by the public institutions of higher education in West Virginia. It is the Regents Bachelor 

of Arts Degree Program, and is different from any present baccalaureate degree plan in 

West Virginia in many respects. 

The minimum requirements for the degree are: a total of 120 hours, 39 hours of upper 

division classes, 36 hours of general studies (minimum of six hours in each of the 

following areas — communications, humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences and 

three hours of mathematical sciences or computer applications). At least 24 hours must be 

earned in one of the participating public colleges of the state system. 

College credit awarded to students in the program for work or alternative learning 

experiences can count toward the degree requirements. For determination of college 

equivalent credit for the student’s work and alternative learning experiences when 

requested by the student, there will be a fee of $300 for the evaluation, regardless of the 

number of hours awarded and a $10.00 fee will be assessed per each college credit hour 

posted. 

While the program is designed to provide the Regents Bachelor of Arts Degree student a 

sound educational foundation, rigid specialization requirements are not imposed. With 

the assistance of the RBA advisor, each applicant creates the course program that best fits 

his or her needs. 

By design, the Regents Bachelor of Arts Degree Program is operated on the same level of 

academic quality as other more traditionally structured baccalaureate degree programs. It 

is not intended as an “escape outlet” for students excluded from regular programs for 

reasons of poor scholarship. However, poor scholarship in early years of study should not 

prevent the admission of students who have demonstrated their maturity and ability to 

acquire and use knowledge. 

Credit may be granted for correspondence credit and college equivalency testing (i.e., 

CLEP, College-Level GED, USAFI, and others). 

Admission Criteria 

Admission to the program is open to students who graduated from high school at least 

four years ago. For those passing a high school equivalency test, admission must be four 

years after their class graduated from high school.


Full-time students who have been suspended from other programs for academic reasons 

may not be admitted to the Regents Bachelor of Arts program unless they have not been 

engaged in full time study for at least one academic year. Admission after the one year 

period must be approved by the program coordinator. 

Honors for Regents Bachelor of Arts Students 

Regents Bachelor of Arts Degree students will be eligible to graduate with honors at 

Glenville State College if they have completed a minimum of ninety (90) traditional 

semester hours from accredited colleges and/or universities. 

All traditional college hours from accredited colleges and/or universities will be utilized 

to compute the overall grade point average for determining whether or not the Regents 

Bachelor of Arts student will graduate with honors. The computation will include all 

failing grades regardless of when they were earned, and the “D” and “F” repeat rules will 

apply. 

Procedures Regarding Graduation of Regents Bachelor of Arts Degree Candidates 

All candidates seeking the Regents Bachelor of Arts degree will be eligible for 

graduation only after all materials submitted as a part of the Portfolio of Life Experience 

have been evaluated by faculty and recommendations approved by the appropriate 

administrative offices. It will be the responsibility of the Coordinator of the Regents 

Bachelor of Arts Degree Program to certify to the Certification Analyst that the process 

of evaluation for college equivalent credit has been completed prior to the date of 

graduation. 

Areas of Emphasis 

Students enrolling in the RBA program have the option of completing an Area of 

Emphasis. A minimum of 15 upper level credit hours (300 and above) with a minimum 

grade of “C”, is required. College Equivalent Credit (CEC) is not considered for 

fulfilling Area of Emphasis requirements and course substitutions are not permitted. The 

Area of Emphasis will be indicated on the student’s transcript upon his/her request. Areas 

of Emphasis are available from the following departments: Business, Criminal Justice, 

English, Land Resources, Science & Math, and Social Science. Students should contact 

the RBA Coordinator for further information on specific Areas of Emphasis and course 

requirements.

IMPORTANT: CPA EXAM AND CERTIFICATION INFORMATION FOR 

ACCOUNTING MAJORS 

The West Virginia Board of Accountancy (www.wvboacc.org) is the regulatory board 

charged with the administration and enforcement of the provisions of the West Virginia 

Board of Accountancy law, including oversight of the professional licensing of Certified 

Public Accountants. In general, the Board shall issue an initial certificate to an applicant 

of good moral character who meets the Education, Examination and Experience 

requirements as specified on the website listed above. In brief, candidates must ultimately 

complete 150 hours of specified Education, pass the Uniform CPA Examination and 

accumulate at least one year of Experience to become a CPA. 

A West Virginia exam applicant may sit for the CPA examination with a baccalaureate 

degree and the completion of specific courses at the upper-division baccalaureate and/or 

graduate levels at an accredited college or university. Minimum requirements include: 

 

 

 

27 semester hours in Accounting (excluding Principles of Accounting, as specified by 

the West Virginia State Board of Accountancy), 

6 semester hours in Business Law and 

27 semester hours in Business courses (other than accounting and business law 

courses, as specified by the West Virginia State Board of Accountancy). 

Three credit hours in ethics are required and may be counted as part of the accounting or 

business courses. 

The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree with a major in Accounting 

from Glenville State College exceeds these minimum academic standards set forth by the 

West Virginia State Board of Accountancy. A complete listing of specific criteria may be 

obtained from the West Virginia State Board of Accountancy or the GSC Accounting 

Faculty.


Remember that CPA candidates must ultimately complete 150 semester hours of 

postsecondary education and receive a baccalaureate or higher degree from a college or 

university accredited by a regional accreditation board recognized by the West Virginia 

State Board of Accountancy. If an accounting major is interested in eventually becoming 

a CPA, the student must earn additional hours past those 128 hours required to obtain a 

baccalaureate accounting degree at Glenville State College. The Department of Business 

recommends three options for interested students to consider in fulfilling the West 

Virginia State Board of Accountancy 150 hour requirement: 

 

 

 

The student may elect a second major and/or select a minor; this option could also 

include completion of an Associate Degree. It is imperative that a student who is 

interested in this option consult with the advisor in the sophomore year to properly 

plan a course of study incorporating these additional hours. 

The student may elect not to declare an additional major/minor but take advisorapproved 

electives in several areas to complete the required hours. 

The student may elect to complete the 128 hour baccalaureate accounting program at 

GSC and then pursue a graduate degree at another institution. 

Students are encouraged to talk with one of the Accounting faculty about this information 

and the options available.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

Dr. Kevin G. Cain, Dean of Teacher Education 

Professors: J. Taylor 

Associate Professors: J. Bailey, K. Cain, S. Curry 

Assistant Professor: C. Stout 

Instructors: T. Cosco, D. McEntire, S. Ratliff, J. Staton 

Glenville State College has a long and proud tradition in the preparation of teachers. The 

College began preparing teachers in 1872 when the Glenville Branch of the State Normal 

School of West Virginia was established by the state legislature. Until the late 1960s, the 

emphasis at Glenville State College continued to be teacher preparation, at which time the 

College expanded its curricula and services. Even with a broadened mission, Glenville State 

College preserved its heritage by continuing a legacy of excellence in teacher education. 

The Department of Education is strongly committed to its mission of preparing exceptional 

teachers for the future. In keeping with its mission, the department maintains high quality 

programs in early education, elementary education, adolescent education, and special 

education and offers many different specializations. These programs are designed to prepare 

teacher candidates for their chosen careers in West Virginia and beyond. Currently, there are 

successful GSC graduates teaching in every county in the state. 

In addition to the curriculum, there are a variety of opportunities throughout the program for 

education majors to work with candidates in educational settings and become a part of the 

local schools and the community. Through Professional Development Schools, candidates 

may observe, tutor, and participate in instructional activities that relate to their area(s) of 

expertise. This interaction enhances the educational experiences and preparation of our 

teacher candidates. 

Within the department, candidates are also offered the opportunity to become members of 

two educational organizations: the Student Education Association (SEA), and the Kappa 

Omicron Chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, an international honor society in education. The 

Department of Education has a dedicated and caring faculty. Their combined years of public 

school experience and closeness with our candidates are the principle assurances of a quality 

educational opportunity at Glenville State College. We take pride in the personal and 

professional relationships between our candidates and faculty. 

The faculty of the Department of Education are committed to preparing teachers who can 

address the challenges of today’s public schools. Upon completion of one of our programs, 

candidates not only understand the methodologies and techniques critical to becoming 

effective teachers, but they also realize the importance of caring for the students in their 

classrooms.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK 

The Skilled, Reflective and Responsive Teacher 

To meet the challenge of preparing teachers to serve effectively in public school the 

teacher education program at Glenville State College is designed to prepare graduates 

who are “Skilled, Reflective and Responsive Teachers” (SRRT). A thorough 

understanding of subject content, along with well-developed capacities in instruction, 

classroom management, assessment, dispositions, and educational applications of 

technology are essential for successful teaching. It is equally important that prospective 

teachers develop the ability to reflect on their learning and teaching and respond to the 

identified needs based on this reflection. This will help to ensure that reflective practice 

results in responsive action, improving the teaching/learning process and leading to 

continued professional growth. 

At Glenville State College, the Department of Education has integrated many 

instructional strategies, reflective skills, content knowledge, and the evaluation of 

dispositions in the presentation of our professional coursework and field experiences. We 

believe that continued improvement in teacher preparation demands the integration of 

knowledge, skills, and dispositions leading to responsive behavior. We proposed and 

developed a merger of skills, reflection, and response into the conceptual framework 

called the Skilled, Reflective and Responsive Teacher (SRRT). The SRRT framework is 

not exclusive of the current teacher preparation curriculum, but rather surrounds and 

supports the acquisition of effective teaching skills with the reflective, responsive nature 

of good teaching. We further believe that skills, strategies, reflection, and productive and 

professional habits of mind can be molded and taught by unified faculty and, in turn, by 

our candidates to their students. 

The teacher education program at Glenville State College and its unifying theme of the 

“Skilled, Reflective, and Responsive Teacher” are supported and informed by six 

conceptual areas: Content Knowledge, Pedagogical Knowledge, Learner Knowledge, 

Professional Knowledge, Reflective Knowledge, and Responsive Practice.


STATE LICENSURE PATTERNS AVAILABLE AT GLENVILLE STATE 

COLLEGE 

1. ELEMENTARY EDUCATION (K-6) 

The elementary education program is designed to prepare educators who will teach 

children kindergarten through the sixth grade. Candidates in the elementary education 

program are required to complete at least one additional teaching specialization, such as 

PreK-K, Multi-Categorical Special Education or a Middle School endorsement. 

2. MIDDLE SCHOOL (5-9) 

This program is designed for educators who wish to teach candidates in grades five 

through nine. The program is designed to link a strong liberal arts education containing 

two areas of content/subject specializations with practical application in public schools. 

Candidates electing to become licensed in middle school levels will need to select two 

content areas from the following: English, math, science and/or social studies. 

3. CONTENT/SUBJECT SPECIALIZATIONS 

Specializations are available at the Middle Childhood Education (5-9) level; the 

Adolescent Education level (9-Adult); and/or combinations of the Middle Childhood and 

Adolescent levels (5-Adult). Subject specializations in Music and Physical Education and 

Health are preschool to adult grade level. Even though the candidate is interested in 

teaching in one particular specialization, the faculty advisor and the candidate should 

discuss employment possibilities and make wise choices based on the needs of the public 

schools. In addition to the faculty advisor, current employment information is available in 

the Academic Support Center. 

ADMISSION TO TEACHER EDUCATION 

Admission to Teacher Education typically occurs prior to or during the fourth semester of 

a candidate’s continuous enrollment in the College. The requirements for admission 

follow. For those candidates holding a bachelor degree, alternate paths to licensure are 

handled on a case-by-case basis. 

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION TO TEACHER EDUCATION 

1. An overall 2.5 grade point average. 

2. Achieve a passing score on the PRAXIS I in the areas of reading (174), writing (172) 

and mathematics (172) or computer-based scores of reading (321), writing (318) or 

mathematics (317). PRAXIS I is a State requirement for teacher licensure. PRAXIS I 

requirements will be waived for candidates who have an ACT composite score of 26 

or higher. Requirements will also be waived when the SAT composite score (verbal 

and math) is 1125 or if the student had an SAT composite score of 1035 prior to April 

1995. Candidates not requiring developmental coursework should take PRAXIS I


during the Fall semester of their Freshman year. Fees incurred for PRAXIS I are in 

addition to other college expenses. Candidates are responsible for all testing costs. 

3. Completion of 42 hours of coursework including the following: Communication Arts 

101 Computer Science 267, Education 203, Education 205, English 101, English 102, 

and Physical Education 201. 

4. Completion of the following courses with a “C” or better: Communication Arts 101, 

Computer Science 267, Education 203, Education 205, English 101, English 102, and 

Physical Education 201. 

5. Professional portfolio, created using LiveText, and oral presentation to faculty 

committee. 

When candidates have completed all requirements for admission to teacher education, 

they are responsible for initiating and ensuring that all application materials are 

completed and submitted to the Department of Education. 

1. To initiate the procedure, the candidate obtains an Application Packet and completes 

the “Intent to Apply for Admission to Teacher Education” form. The packet is 

available from the Department of Education Office. Completed forms must be 

submitted, or e-mailed, to Joanne.Rutherford@glenville.edu in the Education Office 

by the following deadlines: 

Admission to Teacher Education 

Submission of Materials 

Summer and Fall March 1 

Spring December 1 

2. Candidates must complete the “Admission to Teacher Education Assessment Form” 

as well as the “Admission to Teacher Education Evaluation.” This form assesses the 

candidate in the areas of Performance and Dispositions. The completed assessment 

form, along with an additional blank second copy of the form is given to the academic 

advisor. The academic advisor completes the second form. 

3. The faculty advisor ascertains the candidate’s eligibility for admission, completes the 

blank assessment form received from the candidate, and returns it to the Teacher 

Candidate to be placed in the portfolio, which must be prepared as outlined in the 

Application Packet, following the guidelines set forth in the Rubric for Assessment.


4. The “Admission to Teacher Education Assessment Form” from the advisor and the 

candidate’s self-assessment are added to the file created for that candidate. The 

existing file should already contain two copies of the “Admission to Teacher 

Education Assessment Form” which were completed and submitted to the Education 

Office by the faculty teaching Education 203 and Education 205 at course 

completion. 

5. When all the paperwork has been completed and filed and the Portfolio Interview 

process has been successfully completed, the candidate who is applying for admission 

to teacher education is reviewed by the Teacher Education Review Panel (TERP). 

The panel membership consists of a representative of all departments offering 

specializations in Teacher Education, Dean of Students, Director of Residence Life, 

Director of Academic Support Center, Provost and Senior Vice President, and the 

Dean of Teacher Education, who chairs the panel. 

6. The panel meets each semester prior to registration. An applicant may request to meet 

with the panel and the applicant’s advisor may accompany him/her. Such a request is 

submitted in writing at least 10 days prior to the scheduled meeting. 

7. Panel members are sent a list of the names of the candidates requesting admission in 

advance of the scheduled meeting. If a panel member has reasons justifying the denial 

of any applicants, but cannot attend the meeting, such reasons should be stated in a 

letter and submitted to the chair of the panel prior to the meeting. All letters 

expressing concerns will then be read to the panel members in attendance. These 

letters will become part of the candidate’s permanent file maintained in the 

Department of Education. 

8. The panel reviews each application. The panel makes a recommendation to the Dean 

of Teacher Education. Based upon the panel’s recommendation, the Dean may make 

one of three decisions: 

Full Admission: This status is given to candidates who meet all admission 

requirements. Candidates may then enroll in upper division courses that require the 

Admission to Teacher Education prerequisite. 

Provisional Admission: This status is given to candidates when one deficiency exists 

and circumstances warrant provisional admission. Provisional admission is for one 

semester only and is non-renewable. During the semester for which provisional 

admission is granted, the candidate may enroll in any specified upper division course, 

except Internship and the Capstone Assessment. A request for provisional admittance 

is not guaranteed.


All admission requirements must be met at the end of the semester in which the 

Provisional Status was granted. At this time the candidate will automatically be 

admitted to Teacher Education. If any requirements are not met, the candidate’s status 

will be changed to “denied.” When this occurs, the candidate will not be permitted to 

enroll in any classes which require Admission to Teacher Education as a prerequisite. 

When all requirements are met, the candidate may reapply for full admission. 

Denied Admission: This status is given to candidates who have not met all 

requirements for admission to teacher education. This decision prohibits enrollment 

in any upper division courses requiring Admission to Teacher Education as a 

prerequisite. The Dean specifies the reason(s) for the denial. A teacher candidate 

who has been granted full admission and consequently falls below a 2.5 grade point 

average will go to denied status. Any candidate receiving denied status must reapply 

for admission to teacher education. 

9. The Dean notifies each candidate and the candidate’s faculty advisor of the decision 

regarding application. 

10. Candidates wishing to appeal the Dean’s decision may do so through the Student 

Academic Grievance policy as outlined in this catalog. 

RETENTION IN TEACHER EDUCATION 

To remain in any Teacher Education program, candidates must meet the following 

criteria: 

1. Maintain a grade point average of 2.5 in overall course work attempted. 

2. Maintain current tuberculosis (TB) test status before entering the public schools or 

other child-centered field experiences. Copies of all TB test results are retained in the 

Department of Education office. 

3. Maintain a current degree plan with the faculty advisor. 

4. Demonstrate professional competency in field experiences as required. 

5. Maintain a clear social record in the Office of Student Life. 

The faculty advisor as well as the Dean of Teacher Education monitor candidates’ 

progress from admission to teacher education through the completion of the internship. 

When concerns arise throughout their program of study, candidates work with their 

faculty advisors to resolve those concerns expeditiously.


ADMISSION TO STUDENT INTERNSHIP 

Typically, the internship occurs in the last semester prior to graduation. Candidates must 

apply for admission to internship during the semester prior to the internship. 

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION TO STUDENT INTERNSHIP 

To be eligible for Admission to the Internship, candidates must meet the following 

requirements: 

1. Hold full admission status in a Teacher Education Program. 

2. Maintain a minimum overall 2.5 grade point average. 

3. Maintain a minimum 2.5 grade point average in the specialization area(s) for which 

the candidate seeks licensure. Completion of all required hours in specialization 

area(s) with grades of “C” or better. 

4. Maintain a minimum 2.5 grade point average in all education coursework and have a 

“C” or better in each required Education course. 

5. Pass all state-required components of PRAXIS I and PRAXIS II, and meet all 

department requirements. No teacher candidate will be admitted to the Internship 

until ALL components of PRAXIS II are passed. Candidates for the fall semester 

must take and pass the PRAXIS II tests by the June test date. Candidates for the 

spring semester must take and pass the PRAXIS II tests by the November test date. 

6. Maintain a clear social record in the Office of Student Affairs. 

7. Maintain a current negative tuberculosis (TB) test status. 

PROCEDURES FOR ADMISSION TO INTERNSHIP 

The “Application for Admission to Candidate Internship” must be submitted to the 

Director of Field Experiences by MARCH 1 to enroll in the following fall semester and 

OCTOBER 1 to enroll in the following spring semester. Application forms are available 

in the Department of Education office. 

CANDIDATES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT THEIR 

PAPERWORK IS SUBMITTED BY THE DEADLINES FOR ADMISSION.


The Teacher Education Review Panel (TERP) screens the list of intern applicants each 

semester to determine their individual status. An applicant may request to meet with the 

panel; if desired, the applicant’s advisor may accompany him/her. Such a request is 

submitted in writing at least 10 days prior to the scheduled meeting. Typically, panel 

meetings are scheduled during the week prior to the beginning of each semester. 

If admission to the Internship is denied, the Teacher Education Review Panel must 

provide notification and the reason for denial to the candidate within five days of the 

decision. If denied admission the candidate may not begin the Internship during that 

respective semester. Once all deficiencies are met, the candidate may reapply for the 

Internship (by the stated deadline) to be considered for admission for the next semester. 

Organization of the Internship Semester 

Candidates meet with the Director of Field Experiences and supervising professors at the 

beginning of the semester in which they are enrolled in the internship. Primarily, the 

remainder of the semester is spent in the public schools; however, candidates are required 

to attend meetings, workshops and/or other professional development activities. 

Interns may not enroll in any courses other than those prescribed during the internship 

semester without permission of the Dean of Teacher Education. Interns needing 

assistance may be required to enroll in Education 299, the Teacher Candidate Assistance 

Program (TCAP). 

Grading of Internship 

Candidates enrolled in Internship will receive either CREDIT or NO CREDIT. CREDIT 

indicates successful performance of competencies; NO CREDIT indicates inadequate 

performance of competencies. Hours will vary based upon the number of Internship 

specializations the candidate pursues or the length of each required placement. 

One credit hour of the Internship is the Capstone Assessment. Using portfolio artifacts 

and oral defense, candidates must validate that they have met the Interstate New Teacher 

Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC) standards as well as the standards 

designated for their particular content area. Candidates must successfully complete the 

Capstone Assessment based on rubric evaluation in order to receive full credit for the 

internship. All portfolio artifacts must be collected in the LiveText electronic format.


Retention in Internship 

The Department of Education is dedicated to preparing teachers who are skilled, 

reflective and responsive with a commitment to their profession and to the students they 

serve. This requires that all candidates be monitored as they progress through the teacher 

preparation program. If teacher candidates encounter difficulties, remediation plans are 

developed and implemented through the Teacher Candidate Assistance Program (TCAP). 

LICENSURE REQUIREMENTS 

Upon completion of the program requirements, the Internship and the capstone 

assessment, successful candidates will be eligible for the Bachelor of Arts degree in 

Education. At that time, they are recommended to the West Virginia Department of 

Education for licensure to teach in West Virginia. Successful candidates will need to 

meet the following: 

1. Complete all required course work with a minimum grade point average of 2.5 in 

each of the following areas: overall, professional education coursework and in each 

content specialization area that the candidate is seeking graduation and licensure. 

2. Pass state-required PRAXIS I and PRAXIS II assessments for all fields in which 

licensure is pursued. 

3. Have and maintain a clear legal history including the following: 

a. Never having had a teaching license refused, suspended or revoked. 

b. Never having willingly surrendered a teaching license. 

c. Never having had a criminal conviction or currently pending charge (felony or 

misdemeanor). 

4. Complete all Internship requirements and competencies as documented by the 

Professional Semester Evaluation (PSE) performance assessment and the Special 

Subjects Supervisor Evaluation Form.

Department of Fine Arts 169 

DEPARTMENT OF FINE ARTS 

Mr. Lloyd Bone, Department Chairperson 

Associate Professors: D. Chapman, J. McKinney 

Assistant Professors: L. Bone, L. Brenner, T. Dody, D. Lewis 

Instructor: B. Griffin 

The Department of Fine Arts offers a comprehensive music program leading to a 

Bachelor of Arts degree in Education with professional certification in Pre-K through 

Adult and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music (non-teaching) with concentrations in 

Bluegrass Music, Music Technology, Instrumental Music, Vocal Music and Music 

Performance. These programs adhere to recommended national and professional 

guidelines. The department faculty are highly competent in the field of music and art and 

are active performers and artists. 

The Department of Fine Arts is housed in the newest academic building on campus. It 

contains a modern auditorium with recording capabilities, a first class recital hall with 

live-feed media support, the largest art gallery in central West Virginia and numerous 

state-of-the-art practice rooms. The art studios are large with excellent work spaces and 

the ceramic studio has been equipped with a new kiln for firing both ceramic and 

sculpture projects. 

Participation in most music ensembles is open to all members of the college community. 

Traditionally, the program represents the College in off-campus performances, in-state 

and out-of-state, college ceremonies and ensemble performances in the Fine Arts Center 

Auditorium. During their senior year student recitals are given and are open to the public 

and college community. 

The department of fine arts also offers a minor in art. Students enrolled in the minor may 

select from an array of studio art and art history courses. The art minor complements 

many of the major programs offered by the College. The art faculty also enriches campus 

life through student and professional art exhibits open to the general public. 

For additional information about the Department of Fine Arts, its programs, faculty, and 

organizations contact Mr. Lloyd E. Bone, Glenville State College, 200 High Street, 

Glenville, West Virginia 26351. Phone: (304) 462-6341 or send e-mail to 

Lloyd.Bone@glenville.edu.

Degree Programs: The following programs are available in the Department of Fine Arts. 

Baccalaureate (4-year non-teaching) Major: 

Bachelor of Arts 

Music with concentrations in Bluegrass Music, Instrumental 

Music, Music Performance, Music Technology and Vocal Music 

Baccalaureate (Teaching) Majors: 

Bachelor of Arts in Education: Music (PreK-Adult) 

MUSIC PROGRAM ADMISSION POLICY 

Prospective music majors must meet the admission requirements of Glenville State 

College and successfully demonstrate proficiency in basic musicianship skills and other 

areas for admission into the music program through an audition and interview. An 

audition is required for all degrees and includes any change of degree plan. The audition 

and interview may be arranged as late as the first week of classes in each semester 

although students desiring to be considered for music scholarships should arrange the 

audition during their senior year in high school. The annual audition day is scheduled in 

February of each year. 

The basic musicianship skills to be tested in the audition will include: 1) a prepared 

music selection in a major performing area, 2) sight reading in the major performing area, 

3) vocal pitch matching, and 4) ability to identify basic music notation. An interview 

discussing career goals and objectives will be a part of the audition. If the prospective 

music major does not successfully pass the audition and/or interview, he or she will not 

be admitted to the program. Probationary admission can be granted upon 

recommendation of the audition/interview committee. 

Transfer or readmit students can be considered for (re)admission into the music program 

upon: 1) completion of the Glenville State College admission process, 2) receipt of all 

transcripts from all institutions previously attended, 3) presenting a minimum of three (3) 

written recommendations from the institution last attended, 4) provide documentation of 

a clear social record, 5) (for the probationary or suspended student) submit names and 

contact information for three (3) individuals in the music content area at each school 

attended since leaving GSC with the understanding that other faculty may be contacted 

and 6) the successful completion of the music audition and interview process. These 

steps must be completed in order.


The student is ultimately responsible for correctly fulfilling all requirements listed in the 

Glenville State College catalog and the music program sequence of courses. Departures 

from the sequence can result in extending the normal four-year period, and/or create 

scheduling conflicts that could delay completion of the degree. For these reasons, 

students should retain their catalog and sequence. Course requirements should be 

reviewed before and after each registration so that errors may be immediately corrected. 

RETENTION POLICY 

In order to build experience for future employment opportunities, all Music majors will 

participate in both band and choir every semester (with the exception of the Music 

Education student’s professional semester). Exceptions to this requirement may be 

granted only through permission of the student’s advisor and the department chairperson. 

Sophomore music education students must receive a cumulative grade point average of 

2.0 in five courses to be retained in the music education program. These five courses are 

MUSC 170 – Theory I, MUSC 171 – Theory II, MUSC 114 – Voice Class, Applied 

Music I and Applied Music II. Any student not achieving the 2.0 grade point average 

may be placed on probation or suspended from the music education course of study. 

Jury examinations are required at the end of every semester preceding the senior recital. 

Students will be evaluated on Tone, Rhythm, Technique, Interpretation, attendance, 

musicality and other factors; if not passed, the student may either be placed on probation 

or suspended from the program. Students are required to complete a fourth semester jury 

as their Gateway Assessment. This jury must be passed in order to continue in music 

education. If not passed, the student may either be placed on probationary status, 

suspension or completely removed from the program. Reasons for probation, suspension 

or removal from the program include, but are not limited to: consistent poor musical 

performance, lack of musical development, poor class attendance, etc. 

The suspended student may only apply for readmission after one semester. Students may 

continue their general studies during the suspension semester if they so desire and may 

continue to participate in music ensembles. 

All music education majors must pass a piano proficiency examination. All parts of the 

exam must be passed prior to the student intern semester. Exams will be scheduled at the 

end of each semester during juries. If a student does not pass part of the exam, he or she 

must retake that portion of the exam the following semester. If there are three repeated 

failures in any category, then the student must retake the entire piano proficiency 

examination.


APPLIED MUSIC 

Private instruction is offered for all instruments and voice. One hour of credit represents 

50 minutes of instruction each week. Five hours of practice per week are recommended 

for each hour of credit. A lower grade or FIW may result if the student fails to meet this 

minimum practice requirement. 

Students failing to inform their applied instructor prior to an absence will be considered 

unexcused unless severe circumstances have intervened. Instructors will not be expected 

to provide an opportunity for a student to make up an unexcused absence. 

All applied students will perform at department and public recitals when requested. 

When representing Glenville State College, the student must obtain faculty permission 

before participating in any performance not sponsored by the Department of Fine Arts. 

Jury examinations will be scheduled during the week prior to final examinations. Every 

music major will perform at a jury in every semester preceding the Senior Recital. The 

jury or a successful student recital is considered the equivalent of a final examination for 

the applied student. The faculty jury may discuss and recommend, but the instructor 

retains the sole responsibility for the semester grade. 

Music majors are required to attend 80% of all recitals, concerts and other selected events 

each semester unless severe circumstances have prevented attendance. Faculty may 

require additional events. The final applied grade will be lowered one letter for each 

absence beyond the 80% allotted amount. 

The final capstone course is the Senior Recital for all music majors, with the exception of 

the music technology major. The music technology major will complete a senior project 

as assigned by the instructor. Students are required to complete a jury in the semester 

prior to their scheduled Senior Recital. If the applied student is not making satisfactory 

progress, the applied instructor may require a pre-recital hearing the semester of the 

recital. All recitals must have the approval of GSC music faculty. It will be the faculty 

members’ decision upon evaluating the student’s senior recital jury, as to whether or not 

the student has an individual senior recital or a combined senior recital. No credit will be 

given for the recital without this permission. Exceptions may be considered in the case of 

undue hardship with the concurrence of the Department Chair and the Music Faculty. 

The successful completion of this course will demonstrate the musical maturity required 

and the organizational skills needed to prepare and perform musical events. Junior 

Recitals will be available to the Music BA students only and must be shared, if possible.

OTHER COURSES.

182 Department of Land Resources 

DEPARTMENT OF LAND RESOURCES 

Dr. Milan Vavrek, Department Chairperson 

Professors: R. Sypolt, M. Vavrek 

Associate Professor: R. Gazal 

Assistant Professors: B. Perkins, R. Witte 

Instructor: J. Wilson 

The Department of Land Resources prides itself on a ―hands on‖ approach to learning. 

Students are provided a teaching/learning experience that duplicates as closely as 

possible real world applications. The baccalaureate degree in Natural Resource 

Management will take advantage of two associate degree programs in the Department of 

Land Resources and the strength of course offerings in the Department of Science and 

Mathematics, Department of Business and Department of Social Science. The degree is 

developed around the general education baccalaureate degree component, a Natural 

Resource Management core, seven major concentration areas and a block elective 

component. The seven degree concentrations are Applied Science, Business 

Management, Criminal Justice, Environmental Science, Forest Technology, Landman 

Technology and Land Surveying Technology. 

The Department of Land Resources is housed in Eberle Hall about one mile from the 

main campus. The department has about 300 acres of land adjacent to the building for 

outdoor projects. A greenhouse and sawmill are located on the property for student use 

along with storage buildings for timber harvesting equipment. A modern computer lab is 

available for use in appropriate classes. This lab contains computers, plotters, scanner 

and software that replicate those used in government, business, and industry. A wide 

array of hand tools, equipment and land surveying instruments appropriate for teaching 

field labs are available to enhance instruction and learning. Global Positioning Systems 

(GPS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technologies are used in several 

classes. 

For additional information about the Department of Land Resources, its programs, 

faculty and organizations, contact Glenville State College, 200 High Street, Glenville, 

West Virginia 26351. Phone: (304) 462-6370 or send e-mail to 

Milan.Vavrek@glenville.edu.

Degree Programs: The following programs are available in the Department of Land 

Resources. 



Natural Resource Management with concentrations in 

Applied Science, Business Management, Criminal Justice, Environmental 

Science, Forest Technology, Landman Technology (OR) Land Surveying 

Technology 

Biology combined with Forestry 

Business combined with Forestry 

Associate of Science (2-year) Majors: 

Forest Technology 

Land Surveying 

The NRMT: Forestry and NRMT: Land Surveying programs are listed on the Southern 

Regional Educational Board’s (SREB) Academic Common Market and are available to 

out-of-state students subject to provisions of the Academic Common Market. This 

allows qualifying out-of-state students to attend Glenville State College at the in-state 

tuition rate. 

The baccalaureate Natural Resource Management degree program provides the student 

with the opportunity to develop a concentration in one of the following concentration 

areas: 

Applied Science – This concentration centers on biological science with an emphasis on 

courses that build a solid applied science background. This degree in Natural Resource 

Management can help the students get a variety of jobs. Other students may wish to use 

this degree as a foundation for continuing their education in the science field. 

Business Management – This concentration is designed for students primarily interested 

in the business management aspect of natural resources. This program prepares the 

student to deal with personnel management, budgetary items, and other financial 

concerns. 

Criminal Justice – This concentration is designed for those students who want to 

become Conservation Officers or other enforcement personnel in the natural resource 

area.


Environmental Science – This concentration is designed for those students interested in 

environmental regulatory careers with government agencies and business consulting 

firms. The Environmental Science concentration prepares students for career 

opportunities in the private, public, academic and nonprofit sectors. Employers may 

include Federal, state, and local governments; the natural resource sector; utilities; 

manufacturers; and industry, as well as small business. 

Forest Technology – This concentration provides a pathway for associate degree 

students in forest technology to continue their education and receive the baccalaureate 

degree. Students would be able to broaden the perspectives in the natural resource area 

for careers with government agencies as well as the private sector. Students would have 

the necessary credentials to be registered as a professional forester and practice forestry 

in West Virginia as a technician or professional. 

Landman Technology – This concentration is designed for those students interested in 

working in the oil and gas industry in West Virginia and the region. Students in this 

concentration become technically proficient in landman technology and are eligible for 

four ―credit years‖ of work experience to become certified by the American Association 

of Professional Landmen (AAPL). Landman degrees are currently available in three 

states east of the Rocky Mountains. Professional landmen are persons that are involved 

with negotiations for acquisitions or divesture of mineral rights or negotiate for business 

agreements that provide for the exploration or development of mineral rights. Graduates 

of this program are able to find a large number of career opportunities with federal 

government agencies, such as U. S. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management and 

the Environmental Protection Agency. At the state level, graduates qualify for 

opportunities with the Department of Natural Resources, Department of Environmental 

Protection and others. 

Land Surveying Technology – This concentration provides a pathway for associate 

degree students in land surveying to continue their education for a baccalaureate degree. 

Students will be technically proficient in land surveying and will be able to develop a 

strong concentration in geographic information systems and resource allocation for 

careers with government agencies and the private sector. This degree will also provide 

the baccalaureate degree necessary for licensure as a professional land surveyor in West 

Virginia and Ohio. 

*Several scholarships are available specifically to students who are 

enrolled in the Land Resource programs.


Associate Degree Programs 

The associate degree programs have active advisory committees comprised of 

representatives from government, business, and industries that hire graduates. These 

advisory bodies ensure that classes are continually updated and help greatly with job 

placement for graduates. Job opportunities remain strong for all program graduates. 

Graduates receive the associate degree upon completion of their programs in forestry or 

land surveying. 

Forest Technology – GSC has offered an exemplary associate degree program in 

forestry since 1971. Graduates now work in all aspects of forestry in the state and region. 

This program is one of only twenty three programs in the United States that is recognized 

by the Society of American Foresters. The minimum requirement to be registered with 

the state of West Virginia as a forest technician is an associate degree in forestry from a 

two year technical forestry program recognized by the Society of American Foresters and 

4 years of forestry work experience. 

Land Surveying Technology – Glenville State College has been providing well 

educated students for the land surveying profession since 1974. These graduates 

currently work in all aspects of surveying including; retracement, construction, route, 

mineral, and others. The minimum requirement for licensure is an associate degree with 

30 hours of surveying classes and four years of experience. 

Graduates of the land surveying associate degree program receive a ―surveyor intern‖ 

status as the curriculum is approved by the West Virginia Board of Examiners of Land 

Surveyors and the degree provides two of the six years required for licensure. The 

baccalaureate Natural Resource Management degree with the Land Surveying 

Technology concentration provides three of the six years required for licensure.

212 Department of Language and Literature 

DEPARTMENT OF LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE 

Mr. Wayne de Rosset, Department Chairperson 

Professors: D. Wemm, N. Zane 

Associate Professor: W. de Rosset, J. Minton, J. Morgan 

Assistant Professors: M. Gibbons, K. Giordano, M. Gish, D. Millard, M. Wise 

The Department of Language and Literature recognizes the ability to read, write, and 

speak well is fundamental to success in life. To this end, the Department of Language and 

Literature is committed to developing this ability in all students regardless of major field 

of study or professional objective. 

A basic course in English composition, Critical Reading and Writing I and a course in 

public speaking, required under the College’s core curriculum, help students master the 

fundamentals and conventions of both written and spoken standard English and introduce 

them to the art of reasoned discourse, the basic medium of academic communication. The 

department also offers a course in creative writing. 

In keeping with the College’s commitment to both literacy and general education, the 

department offers a number of required courses aimed at introducing students to their 

literary and cultural heritage while further refining their reading, writing, and speaking 

skills. Courses required in various degree programs include American Mosaic (critical 

writing about literature, emphasizing ethnic and gender issues) and a course surveying a 

broad span of literary history. Upper-level courses in novel, poetry, drama, film, 

linguistics, journalism and related media are open to students regardless of major. 

In addition to meeting the specialized needs of English majors, these courses deepen the 

student’s insight into the human condition and can help ensure success in a variety of 

fields— from psychology to marketing, from music to pre-law, from chemistry to history. 

The department sponsors a literary magazine, The Trillium, Sigma Tau Delta: The 

International English Honor Society, and theatre activities including Alpha Psi Omega. 

Further, students have the opportunity to work with the Phoenix, GSC’s newspaper. 

For additional information about the Department of Language and Literature, its 

programs, faculty, and organizations contact Mr. Wayne de Rosset, Glenville State 

College, 200 High Street, Glenville, West Virginia 26351. Phone: (304) 462-6321 or send

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN NURSING PROGRAM 

The joint offering of the West Virginia University School of Nursing's Bachelor of 

Science in Nursing program by Glenville State College and West Virginia University 

School of Nursing is a unique and exciting program that combines the advantages of a 

small college environment and experiences in a rural setting with experiences in a major 

medical center. Students interested in the nursing program may enroll at Glenville State 

College as a pre-nursing student meeting the admission requirements outlined below. 

For entry into the pre-nursing program, the student must have an ACT composite score of 

20 or greater or an equivalent SAT score. The student must furnish an official transcript 

from an accredited high school which indicates successful completion of the following 

courses: Biology - 1 unit; Chemistry - 1 unit; English - 4 units; Mathematics - 3 units 

including at least 2 units in Algebra. Students who have not completed these courses will 

be considered on an individual basis. Enrollment in foundation courses may be necessary 

before beginning the usual freshman year courses. 

Registration in the pre-nursing program during the freshman year does not assure 

admission to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program (BSN). Formal application for 

admission to the BSN program takes place early in the second semester of the freshman 

year. 

The freshman and sophomore years of this program are completed at Glenville 

State College. The junior and senior years are completed at West Virginia 

University Institute of Technology, Montgomery, West Virginia. Graduates of this 

program will officially graduate from West Virginia University. 

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR THE B. S. IN NURSING PROGRAM 

While preference is given to West Virginia residents, qualified students from other 

states are encouraged to apply. To qualify for admission to the School of Nursing basic 

program, a candidate must have completed one year of the prescribed courses listed 

below. These courses are available at Glenville State College. Applicants are eligible for 

review by the Admissions Committee after completion of one full semester of course 

work. The prescribed courses include: 

BIOL 102 - 4 hours 

BIOL 309 - 4 hours 

CHEM 100 and CHEM 103 - 8 hours 

ENGL 101 - 3 hours

Nursing Office, Room 102A, Science Hall at Glenville State College after December 1. 

Application for admission to the School of Nursing must be made by February 1 of the 

year the candidate wishes to be admitted. 

The applicant's academic record is the major factor in the decision on admission. The 

applicant must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or above on a scale of 0.0 to 

4.0 on all college work attempted, to qualify for consideration. In addition applicants 

must have a 3.0 grade point average in all prerequisite nursing courses and a 3.0 grade 

point average in all science courses.

254 Department of Social Science 

DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SCIENCE 

Dr. Mike Smith, Department Chairperson 

Professor: M. Smith 

Associate Professors: A. DeMatteo, M. Gherke, F. Walborn, E. Wood 

Assistant Professors: G. Abraham, M. Curtis, A. Daniel, G. Hoshell, I. Mills, M. Mills, 

D. Sambu, K. Treece 

The Department of Social Science provides a wide variety of courses and subjects. 

Though each is unique in its focus and in its emphasis, the social sciences have a 

common concern with human behavior. The social sciences share the belief that human 

behavior, culture, and society—the total human experience—can and should be studied 

using the methods of science. 

The Department of Social Science is committed to offering high quality classroom 

instruction, providing professional and caring advising and demonstrating strong 

commitment to the values of a higher education community. While the faculty are 

justifiably proud of what they as an academic unit are doing well, they also fully realize 

that a contemporary education entails more than classroom work. Thus, the Department 

of Social Science offers a variety of opportunities and experiences that go beyond the

50 minutes of instruction each week. Five hours of practice per week are recommended 

for each hour of credit. A lower grade may result if the student fails to meet the minimum 

requirement. 

Students failing to inform their private instructor prior to an absence will be considered 

unexcused unless severe circumstances have intervened. Instructors will not be expected 

to make up an unexcused absence. 

Jury examinations will be scheduled during the week prior to final examinations. These 

examinations are considered to be the equivalent of a final examination. The faculty jury 

may discuss and recommend, but the instructor retains the sole responsibility for the final 

semester grade. The fourth semester jury (MUSC 293) will be the mid program 

assessment for all students and must be passed to continue in either music program. 

All applied students will perform at department and public recitals when requested. When 

representing Glenville State College, the student must obtain permission before 

participating in any performance not sponsored by the Department of Music.


The final capstone course is the senior recital. Students must demonstrate their ability to 

perform successfully in their jury the semester before their senior recital. The successful 

completion of this course will demonstrate the musical maturity required and the 

organizational skills needed to prepare and perform musical events. 

All music majors must pass a piano proficiency examination. All parts of the exam must 

be passed prior to Student Internship. Exams will be scheduled at the end of each 

semester during juries. If a student does not pass a part of the exam, the student may 

retake that portion of the exam the following semester. If there are three repeated failures 

in any category, then the student must retake the entire piano proficiency examination. 

Students will be tested at the beginning of their first year to determine their piano 

proficiency and course placement. A description of that proficiency exam is listed in the 

Department of Music: Addenda to Glenville State College Catalog. 

Applied Major: The normal sequence for the ten credit hours in the major consists of 

three semesters of two credits each and four semesters of one credit each. Applied majors 

will appear at juries and recitals each semester. 

Applied Minor: The normal sequence of events for the four credits in the minor consists 

of four semesters of one credit each. Major applied credit cannot be given for these 

beginning levels of instruction. The minor is required to appear only at a jury or in a 

recital performance, the choice being made by the instructor.
